RE: Have you ever wondered why Internet Cafes/KOMPUTERSYAP were prevalent in the decade of 2000 in The Philippines?

in Hive PHlast year

Born in the 80's was part of the early generation of internet users and CS2/WCII ,WCIII then Ragnarok more the ones we played at cafes though already have setup at home. Also used to take consoles/pc to friends houses for lan parties.
I remember going to an internet cafe in Boracay where there would be maybe 10 or so computers sharing 1 56K dialup connection. Could take 5 mins just to open up an email in hotmail.

hoho. one of the big boys.😁

Indeed! sharing a 56k modem is ridiculous, the isp providers were also just as bad, maxing tops at 28k depending on the time of day. only when it was replaced with the shinier adsl technology did online gaming took centerstage.
