Some of the local computer BBSes I used in the late '80s/early '90s networked with BBSes in other states. Not sure if that would be considered "Internet."

A friend of mine also used a national dial-up service called Q-Link on the Commodore 64 in the late '80s/early '90s. It was basically just a few chat rooms.

My high school also had a Prodigy (or was it Compuserve) account setup on a computer in the library in the early '90s. I would get on it to read Roger Ebert movie reviews.

Starting using the Internet full fledged (complete with Netscape browser) in 1996.
