Hmm. By the mid ninties there were plenty of geek households with internal networks sharing out external highspeed connections, often with their own domains and servers and such. Especially in high rent high nerdity areas (like Boston and the Bay Area).
Not *common*, but not at all rare in the right circles. Craig and I had a home network but a lousy connection in 1996 (they promised us DSL in six months when we bought the house, and it continued to be "in six months" for the next few years). But we were also in the boonies where such amenities were less available.
