I think it was 1996.

Roughly 1996, we would dial up though the local college

Before the internet, we had FidoNet (BBS).
I think I started using the Internet with AOL and then MSN.

Shit. Mid nineties somewhere? Though I'd had a chance to fuck around before that

1994 ish

BBS before that

1997

Possibly as soon as 1985 through Q-Link, though I don't recall it until 88 or 89 - so I'm not sure when my folks first got in.

Me personally, around 1990.

1995/1996 with a PowerMac 6100 and a 33.3k modem and Compuserve.

2005 for me. But then when I moved out I didn’t have regular access until 2010 then I had an another internet hiatus until 2012.

Back in those days, you really had to put effort into having access to it.

Probably around 2015-2016, my dad gave me a profile on his macbook to play with.

1991 or so by local university dialup that had a backdoor. People on local BBS clued me in.

After that backdoor was closed, a handful of student accounts kept me online until a local ISP launched.

Somewhere around ~2008, i was around 15 that time. Had to steal wifi from the neighbors. Placed wifi antenna on the roof through roof window and had a long wire running across the house to my room.

If weather was bad i couldn't get internet connection and every spring i had to dig the antenna out from the snow when it fell off the roof.

Got normalish internet when I got 18 and joined mobile carrier myself, that was limited to 2GB per month before speed was capped to 100kbs. That was around ~2011

We got dial-up in 1998 and ADSL in 2001. VDSL in 2012 and now waiting for fiber to become available in my street.
