Was 19 still living at home when my Dad switched us to something called "@home" broadband, which became Comcast a couple years later. I do remember being blown away by seeing images load almost instantly on a web page.

That was also the last year I remember using Netscape Navigator as a daily driver. It was IE for the next four years until I switched to Firefox, and have been using that ever since. Yes, IE blows, but Navigator was starting to become a bloated mess as it started to suffer from feature creep trying to win people back.
