Sounds like you had a rougher go of it than me, I'm glad it's better for you now! How was the satellite, I hear the upstream and latency were no fun?
I moved out of my parents around 2003, and generally lived the city life with some kind of cable most places I went. I moved back in with my mom a few years ago though, and it was pretty rough working remotely on that 6Mbps connection. So thankful for the gigabit now.
This was pre-Starlink, so kind of crappy. Bandwidth was decent for the time at 12 Mbps (I think upstream was 3?) and the latency was what it was (~900ms round trip). The draconian 10 GB data caps were what got you, though.
You could RDP in a pinch to put out a fire, but you would not want to be working remotely over it on a daily basis.
