Yep. I remember vividly being broke. Lots of macaroni and cheese, lots of rice and tater soup. I gave my grandmother my TV because I was busy working two jobs and never watched TV. When I got into computers dialup was all there was, and Bell owned everything, and technically to hook a modem to the phone line required a business line. No one did, and there are no phone police. I paid for my first modem with manual dialing and 300 baud to learn more about the world of computers.
It blows my mind that I went from 300 baud back then, to 960 Mb/sec download and 35 Mb per sec upload. The cable company calls it gigabit service, but they cheat as it never hits 1024 mb/sec speed. Still super fast service but my company pays for it for my business.
