We had that most horrible of dialup services, AOL in 1994.

Actually I thought it was quite an improvement over Compuserve which was the previous provider I had. The real trouble is the modem which ran at about 2400 baud then. Surfing the net was time consuming, it was click then go get a cup of coffee, pet the dog, check the weather forecast, then come back and see what the page looked like. Email was pretty quick but this was before instant messaging.
