I wonder. Looking it up, DOCSIS 1.0 is from March, 1997. I have no idea
what the state of cable broadband was prior to adoption of DOCSIS.

I was still using 2400 baud modems in the early 1990's, and 1200 baud modems
in the mid 80s. I never used the latest and greatest. I don't recall
using a 14.4 much, except as backup. I vaguely recall going from
2400 to 28.8 but I don't recall what year that was.
