it's a bit disingenuous.. like saying 2.5Gbit internet was available in the 90's (it was.. to ISPs)

in truth (adjusted for inflation, 1995) just the cablemodems for service back then were >$1000

and (again for inflation) 1993? $11000 for the modem 

it took @Home in 1997 to make cablemodem available in a meaningful way.
