Of course, this is dial up, the predecessor to modern internet technology, offering laughable speeds compared to modern connections. The key to YouTube over dial up is a little known part of the protocol added right around the time broadband was taking off called multilink PPP. Unfortunately, this still was an unusable setup as no browser capable of running YouTube could be installed on Windows 2000. But a single Equinox card was still not enough, so a second eight port com card was installed. With twelve modems connected, a whopping 668.8 kbps was achieved over dial up, well in excess of what’s needed for YouTube video playback, and even beating out broadband of the era.
