This Olde Website – the telecom edition

This year's review of the web of yore makes stops at AOL, AT&T Broadband, Qwest, Cingular, Comcast, Verizon and many more.

The holiday season is here again. It's time to stock up on the eggnog, dream of sugar plums, roast some chestnuts on the open fire… and take another gander at the web of yore, courtesy of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

But rather than presenting vintage websites from a mishmash of industry and industry-adjacent companies that are still here or perhaps long gone, this edition focuses a bit more on the service provider segment, because… why not?

Happy Holidays!
