  You could stream 144p6 video with phone-like audio with a RealPlayer browser plugin and a 28k modem in 1998. DVD-quality video (high bitrate 480p30/480i60/480p24/576p25/576i60, now considered low-end for movies) only became available to stream about 10 years later.

  Even YouTube was around by that point.

  Pretty sure Pandora was around. But also I’d consider cable and satellite TV to be streaming services.
