Even early broadband could be hit or miss. I ordered disks directly from Ubuntu because I wasn’t confident in my Internets ability to download an entire disk iso in the early '00s.
I downloaded a 100mb video podcast in like '03 on a broadband connection and it took me at least a day
It actually makes sense. You wouldn’t expose the most secret military base to the internet directly. The SGC systems must have been airgapped, especially in the early years.
How do you research then? You put in a request, a secure, internet connected terminal is used to grab that data, copied to hard storage, scanned for malicious code, then transferred to the SGC computers.
Pre-Web2.0 this wasn’t an issue as sites simply returned static data. There were even projects that offered to crawl an entire website and save every page, every linked path, for offline browsing.

Same, I ordered a Ubuntu CD and others (Redhat or Debian(?)) on CDs, because we only had 64 kbit/s ISDN.
