The first time I used email was in 1995. I had been online before but it wasn’t the graphical browser based experience. More like the BBS.

1997 or 1998, off and on while taking AOL deals when they were offered.

In 94 I got a PC with a modem. I had a free trial I think for some web service but I didn't know what I was doing. I also think they charged by the hour so I gave up in it pretty quickly.

In 96 I transferred schools and moved into a dorm where high speed internet was included. The browser was a lot easier to use too. I've been online almost every day since then.

1991, Telerama.

Earlier than that I also had Telnet, FTP, IRC and UUCP newsgroups access through GEnie. Technically it could be called the Internet (pre-web) but some people may disagree.
