My first “broadband” was Hughes satellite internet, due to living in a rural location. It was hot garbage, but it was better than dialup.
The speeds were Ok (for me), but the data cap (applied daily) was draconian. I don’t recall the specific amount but it basically made it impossible to stream video in any capacity.
There was a 3-hour period from midnight to 3am every night where the cap didn’t count. That effectively became internet time because it was unusable otherwise.
I want to say it was about 2005 or 2006.

I got cable in 2010.
