I'm old enough to remember 14k, 28k and 56k modems - and while yh internet held great wonder, waiting for pages to load and files to download was really frustrating.

Oh, and having to hangup so my parents could make a phonecall wasn't fun either!

This at least is something that has got orders of magnitudes better, and is very much noticeable. At times I still shake my head in wonder at being able to download a GB in less than 2 mins on a residential FttC connection.
