The first Internet café in [[Poland]] was opened in 1996. Such establishments soon became very popular among the Polish population, especially young people, who at the time still rarely had access to computers with high-speed Internet at home. They were commonly used to play games like [[Icy Tower]] or [[Counter-Strike]], as well as for instant messaging on the [[Gadu-Gadu]] client. Internet cafés began losing popularity after [[Telekomunikacja Polska]] launched the ADSL ''Neostrada'' service in 2001, providing home Internet access to many Poles, and most establishments were shut down by the 2010s.
