144kbps(IDSL, actually ISDN), 384kbps, 768kbps, and 1.5mbps were incredibly common speeds during the early days and especially not in major cities. I was on dialup in BFE, switch to 64k ISDN in 97/98, and cable came alone at a whopping 3mbps in 99, complete game changer.

Higher speeds of DSL came along with ADSL2 in 2002/2003. There were higher than 1.5mbps before that, but you basically had to be across the street from the CO to get that.
