The modem used to echo the tormented screams from the cripts of hell every time it tried to connect.

And if someone picked up the ~~landline~~ phone it would sever the connection.

Ha, my best friend had ISDN, so no severed connections when somebody dared placing a phone call while we were traversing the murky depths of rotten.com.

Of course, in style of the meme, we also had the internet at home. Cable internet, which was slow enough it would actually hang up the Windows 98 network stack, taking down the entire system with it.
