The drawback of being early is that every BBS you connected to still had 300 baud, so it didn't matter for a while. But when you did match up with another 1200, it felt like warp speed. The only thing that ever beat it was the jump from fast 56k dial-up to cable modem. That was insane.

Yeah I remember this being the case when u first got my 9600 but most warez boards were still 2400
