The term "internet" was adopted in the first RFC published on the TCP protocol (RFC 675:[32] Internet Transmission Control Program, December 1974) as an abbreviation of the term internetworking and the two terms were used interchangeably. In general, an internet was any network using TCP/IP. It was around the time when ARPANET was interlinked with NSFNET in the late 1980s, that the term was used as the name of the network, Internet, being the large and global TCP/IP network.

Basically once TCP/IP became the (open) network standard.
IIRC When NTL were trumpetting 256k through an STB as "superfast" always connected broadband. ( We had that )
