Where you are. In ~2001 in many places there was reasonable Internet, including the early versions of ADSL.
Which could not compete with Ethernet even at 10 Mbit/s.
Not to say that as I already sad, Internet was not the main service which people used in their LANs. Some people used Internet and some never did.
