1999. I had 10 Mb/s at work and 56 kB/s at home which is about 200 times slower, same difference between a 1 GB/s fiber and a 5.6 Mb/s ADSL.
I used the same laptop and had very different experiences. Sites like the current HN worked much better at home. Large images didn't load fast there. Of course developers didn't create very large JPEGs or 10 MB JavaScript files back then but we had the same kind of problems, scaled down to smaller sizes.
