The early TANet connecting Taiwan academic institutions and research institutions are using telephone connection, bandwidth was 9.6 kbit/s. On December 3, 1991, a 64kbit/s data connection to JvNCnet in Princeton University, United States was made. It was Taiwan's first international network connection. In early 1994, a T1 connection is connected to Hinet, become Taiwan's first peering Internet connection.
