Check the 300 baud modem. I’m so old that I used computers that worked at 110 baud (one start bit, 7 data bits, 1 parity bit, two stop bits - 10 characters a second). How long would an internet page take to load at that speed?

I remember baud or symbol rate vs. bit rate. Started at 300, saw the jumps to 28k, 56k, etc.

Don't remind me how many years I had to limp along with dial up connections.

I remember having a 300 baud modem and hearing the familiar flurry of noise over the phone linenuntil I heard a single tone then was connected to a bulletin board. I remember the day when the 2400 baud snobs didn’t want us on their boards...lol....boy times haved changed

the average page on my site is about 1.5m on a fresh reload.

1.5m @ 110 bps it would take 114390 seconds or almost 32 hours for a single page.
