Cube first came into existence somewhere in December of 1995 when Tiaan and Roelof shared an apartment. At the time, Cube was not connected to the Internet, but a small internal network existed based on one old Unix machine, two windows machines and a 10MBit HUB... Connection-wise, Cube has grown, first becoming connected to the Internet in 1996 via a dedicated analogue leased line running at 26.4 kbps. The Uplink provider, at the time, was LeClub Internet. During 1997 Tiaan settled in a house, moving all equipment there, and Cube got its own domain name. When Roelof left his employer, who graciously provided the uplink, the connection moved to Internet Solutions. In 2000 Roelof left Cube to live in his own house because Tiaan got married... In January of 2004, the local telecoms company introduced ADSL and in August of that same year Cube switched over to a 512kbps DSL connection to the Internet after being connected at (a very unstable) 26.4kbps for more than eight years.
