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 pointBS 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 RapidsAOL - Had this for a short bit at parents3rddoor.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 DSLNCSU 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 NeckEmbarq -> 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.CarrboroAT&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.

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.
