(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.

FIOS - Word.

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.

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.

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.

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.
