We had the analogue TV (Jerrold impulse box) and phone when Nynex cabled up this area in the late '90's with a dial up on Virgin.net in '98 (My email addy from then still works!) Usually managed a solid >50kbs

When they switched the TV to digital in the early 2000's we then had "broadband" (256kbs) through a Pace 4000 STB the speeds steadily increased until the STB got bricked by a sw upgrade. Then switched to a Samsung STB and a separate Ambit 255 modem. IIRC the speed then was about 4mbs
