We used to play these games on dial-up where ~300ms pings were pretty common.

Moving to a cable connection in ~2001 was shocking in comparison!

Funny, my first cable connection was waaay worse than dailup. Abysmal pings and speeds maxing out around 3kb/sec. It took a few years to reach 32kb/sec which felt insane.
