At university: Max 14.4 kbps dial-up access to the Computer Science server--bash, Jove, gcc. Could always tell the evenings when a first-year CS assignment was due because the modem bank would be full, and your only chance of getting in was to repeated redial in hopes of catching a free line.

Likewise, Friday and Saturday nights on the general computing server, but instead of assignments, it would be IRC that kept the modem bank busy.
