Yeah, my first computer (1992), I also got a modem (both hand-me-downs); the modem was 2400 baud. I remember waiting about 15-20 minutes to download a 1 megabyte file. I got a 14.4k modem in 1994 and eventually bought a 33.6k an then 56k when I started using the internet.
I remeber trying to download the Doom shareware from a BBS and then gave up on it after awhile. I was young and tieing up the phone lines back then, so I wasn't very patient.
Now-a-days, it is possible to get the same thing in about 1 to 2 seconds with a decent Internet broadband connection; maybe a few seconds over 4G LTE.
Amazing how far we've come...
