We got DSL as I was about 12yrs old or something like that. Before that we had the 56k modem, if that does count.

Longest at home was about 2weeks, when we switched provider, and the guy changing our connection just stopped in the middle of it and went on vacation, and noone knew what was wrong lawl.

In '06, I stayed in Manila for 4 weeks total... at my grandma's where they don't even have cable, let alone internet :(

My sister flew to visit my grandparents. At least they had dial up  ;)

3 weeks to a month, while living with my parents.

 

Then again at least a month while moving on my own.

 

I don't mind being without the internet as long as I have music to play and books to read (i rarely if ever watch TV) or games to play.

 

I also was like 2 weeks without any electric power at all thanks to an Earthquake here

Hmm 10years? I don't think that I was in internet caffee's until I was like 10 or so... Though I might be wrong, as I had a PC since I was 9... hmm. Tough question :D, after all I was born when the internet started to get world wide around 1990-1993.

 

Lols... anyways since I had home internet probably one month.

10 minutes for trying to connect a laptop without internet drivers just trying to take the ethernet cable form the router. It didn't work, and the router started being annoying for some minutes. It was horrible (#totallynotfirstproblems)

 

Joys of being young.

 

 

My Little brother got pretty damn mad too.

monday-friday for 3 weeks. Was working out of town and living on site at the time and there wasn't even strong enough of a network connection to update a facebook status. Stupid Optus! Our only entertainment was fire and a terrible TV with only 4 working channels.
