Started with 300 and was insanely jealous of people when 1200 became affordable enough for them. I think I eventually got 1200, but then many people had moved to 2400.

Started w/sleepover's at my buddy's house dialing into the mainframe to play Adventure on his Dad's terminal w/acoustic coupler modem. Pretty sure it was slower than 300.

I had 300 baud, which had a switch on the side. I would call a BBS and flip it on when it made the handshake beeps. I tried to host a BBS of my own between the hours of 7pm and 9pm, but my parents were not happy with it.

I jumped from 300 (Apple Cat) to 2400 and felt like the king of the world :)
