OMG, come on, Yahoo absolutely, along with AOL, etc. were ISPs, back in the day. I was using "the internet" when you had to be able to use Archie, Gopher, NG's, etc. so thank you, yes, I'm aware that "the internet" predates GUI web crap.

Spoiler:
As it happens--for whatever it's worth--I had the 18th Internet Connection in Phoenix, AZ. The first provider, Primenet--I think that they actually had an earlier moniker than that, but were thence acquired by US West, etc.--was my then-provider, and we were customer 0000018. That doesn't make me some Net Pioneer, but I do have some passing familiarity.
