Somewhere around 2010, i was around 15 that time. Had to steal wifi from the neighbors. Placed wifi antenna on the roof through roof window and had a long wire running across the house to my room.

If weather was bad i couldn't get internet connection and every spring i had to dig the antenna out from the snow when it fell off the roof.

Got normalish internet when I got 18 and joined mobile carrier myself, that was limited to 2GB per month before speed was capped to 100kbs.
