  I started my internet in 2002 so it's 4 years ? Initially started with 56k, den to 512mbps and now using 6.5k kbps.

  Kinda think of it it has been a long time since i started using internet. Started with 56k starhub connection which was free at that time. Even used it to downloads things. Now I'm using starhub maxonline 6500 and I still find it slow. Cant imagine if i'm still using 56k. Probably will be vomitting blood.
