I presume you mean in your area, I had cable installed in June 1999 (Diamond Cable, who were taken over by NTL)..

I remember Freeserve I think it was 1p a minute and then I got on a BTinternet dialup for £10 a month which saved me a fortune and the phone line was permanently engaged back in 1999 when I was at home with me playing Quake2.
I then got 600K Cambridge Broadband around 2000.
