I knew many of my guildmates (most real life friends) that had similar access to higher bandwidth connections for the time at local ISPs or college dorms and libraries.

My home computer (being a broke college kid at the time) wasn't spectacular however I regularly used charm to solo tough camps with my necro during classic, kunark, and velious. I also regularly charming mobs in xp groups in lguk during classic and city of mist in kunark because they did better dps. All without spending thousands on a high end pc.

I'd suggest that if a necro could do it during this era, an enchanter could do it even better. In fact I remember this being the case. Sadly I don't have any data or logs from 20+ years ago to demonstrate my claims to be true.
Yeah I also had a primatuve form of cable internet in 1999, and it wasn't horribly expensive so was very common at least in my area
