Unless you had 2 modems tied together somehow..you didn't get that speed in 1996
In reality you couldn't do anything with those speeds if you really had them...wasn't much of a web in 1996

It's much better FREE with Comcast and a few others...you might want to look at your deals page on your local cable company..Peacock comes free with certain internet speeds...and yes I have links if needed
