Once upon a time I used a phone line in a camping ground put in by a new company called Sprint. For the short time we used it, we had a solid 53333 bits/sec, which is perfect 56k because of technical reasons. It was glorious. Still not cable, but at the time it was something else from having grown up with 300/1200 baud in the past, being able to read the text as it came in.
Totally spoils those nice scrolling ANSI banners that BBSes used where it wss intended that the line speed would regulate the unveiling of the art. :-)

YES. Loved my little Enterprise warping in image built from Commodore PET characters for my BBS signature.
