(Cary, NC) Prodigy - at some point around 1995 Prodigy started allowing web access for something ridiculous like $10/mB. Some people weren't LIKING it (me) Nando.net - first "unlimited" internet Pagesz.net - local ISP IBM - they had some sort of proprietary ISP for a time Ipass.net - local ISP Bellsouth DSL - first real broadband experience.. 1.5mbit baby! TwC - maybe this was faster than 1.5mbit -- around 2001 or 2002? College internet - twas very fast TwC (moved to Chicago) Comcast High rise apartment internet -- pretty shitty Clear4G -- price was right but terrrrrrrible latency Comcast -- at this point I've completely cut the cord Wide Open West -- it's like Comcast but cheaper

AOL - The early days. Man, I was a bad ass going into adult chat rooms. Dial up.
NetZero - haha, back when it was free. Shitty dial up.
TWC- Parents got RR about the same time I went to college.
NCSU Campus Internet - T3 if I remember correctly. It blew my mind.
Bellsouth DSL - First apartment. It worked for what I needed, and was pretty fast at the time.
TWC again - Moved in with some bros. RR was the it by that point
BS Internet provided by my apartment complex - It was broadband, but slow....but "free"
Cox - Up in VA, they had cox. They weren't that bad.
TWC - Up in NY. It was pretty decent.
Comcast - The devil's taint. Fast enough, but they suck so goddamn hard in other ways, I would advise any and everyone to never do business with the company.

I forgot about my "included" internet at the high rise I was living for a year. The default internet option was always shitty and I couldn't even get Comcast if I wanted to. 1/8/2016 6:20:38 PM |

Roanoke Rapids
AOL - Had this for a short bit at parents 3rddoor.com - Local ISP that even had 56k connections! (My grandfather still uses their webpage as his home page, even though he has not had them as an ISP for 15+ years!) Sprint - First DSL
NCSU
ResNet - OMFG ridiculously fast. This was 2000 so Napster was making P2P huge and easy, so I downloaded so much music and games when I started.
Roanoke Rapids / Scotland Neck
Embarq -> CenturyLink - Only DSL provider in area. Had satellite so I could not do cable internet at the time, and it was honestly shit as well. Scotland Neck barely had cable TV, let alone decent SuddenLink internet.
Carrboro
AT&T - UVerse, but the fastest we could get was 12MB. TWC - Coworkers in town got Maxx free speed upgrade, so I went to 200MB service for a lower price. Google Fiber - ?? Wishful thinking probably. 1/8/2016 8:12:18 PM |

Greensboro, NC Prodigy - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL AOL - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
NCSU ResNet
Greensboro, NC BellSouth DSL (with the occasional NetZero, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL)
NC State ResNet - So much pr0n!
Aiken, SC AT&T DSL - 6Mbit, we were blazing fast! Atlantic Broadband - Switched to this when I moved a 3/4ths of a mile away from my previous address, because AT&T couldn't provide the same service to the new address. WTF
Charlotte, NC AT&T UVerse -Meh, it's ok. 1/8/2016 10:06:15 PM |

Hey Prodigy was pretty cool if you were a kid. I mean if you were into playing that maze game 15 times and asking your parents what pronouns and shit were so you could fill out madlibs. 1/8/2016 10:48:51 PM |
