I don't think it was via t'internet, even, may even have been given to me on a floppy. I first had internet in 1991 in the wilds of rural france, one of the first fifty to subscribe to a brand new local isp (who are still in business today, still local) we used to get charged by the minute, in addition to the cost of the phone call. Seems like the dark ages now. Just got rid of my expensive satellite provider, wimax has reached our communications black hole, though we will never have adsl. Anyone want a large satellite dish?
