Pfft. Cable and ISDN were not that rare in 1999 (I didn't mention DSL because I forget when it became a popular competitor). That is about when they were becoming more mainstream and affordable. It's not like there wasn't coax (and CAT3 for ISDN) running into 90% of buildings.
Of course there were plenty of folks on dialup since this still was a period of technology transition, but let's not pretend like it was 1990.
