lol. I remember that some people would save and collect those discs because they were sent to everyone, unrequested, for free. Then they would send hundreds of aol discs back to aol. TAKE THAT!Some time in the late 90s with AOL but I got no way of really knowing for sure.
Probably sometime from the late 2000s, because by 2010 I was already Internetting for a while.Since 1996! 56k modem in my house when I was about 18.

...who remembers catch-a-call?
I think this is similar with Austrians "Half or quarter" Telephone Connection.
It was in the 80´s/90´s and not every Hosehold have or could not afford an Single Connection,so these Types was available too.
Half mean you have to share it with another House Resident or Neighbor.Quarter with 3 others.
So,if one of the other "participants" is phoning,YOUR Line was accupied and the otherway,so no Internet,no Phone.
You have to make deal "Times" when he or you wants to use Internet or Phone Calls.
A Quarter was more harder to manage.
