it's a bit disingenuous.. like saying 2.5Gbit internet was available in the 90's (it was.. to ISPs)
in truth (adjusted for inflation, 1995) just the cablemodems for service back then were >$1000
and (again for inflation) 1993? $11000 for the modem
it took @Home in 1997 to make cablemodem available in a meaningful way.
