the longest time you've been without it?
 
Weeks, when I was hospitalized a couple of times.
 
I don't know, maybe a few days. I don't really download movies/shows on my PC, so I pretty much just didn't use the comp at all for that duration.
 
Oh, yes, that too. My "one day" answer was based on when I WANTED to get online but the power was out. o_O
Yeah, I've spent a few days offline voluntarily because of mental health concerns, but unwanted I've spent big chunks of time off, lol

How did you feel without the Internet?
 
I'm born in 1995 so I didn't have it for the first 10 years of my childhood,

around 13 I got it and been connected ever since
 
I think the last time I was without internet for a week was when I went on holiday in 2007. Since then, I've never been without it for more than a couple of days.
 
Couldn't recall, to be honest. The internet is my main go-to place for getting away from reality and chilling. I haven't had a day I haven't used the internet in probably many years.

You must have excellent uptime with your internet provider. Where I used to live it went down for days a couple times.

It has a bunch of hiccups, but I don't think it ever went down for an extended period of time.
 
About a week and a half...

Had to go several years without it. I couldn't afford it at the time.
 
When I moved into my previous house we were there for a week before we had the internet connected. I was on leave from work for the weak too haha. So I ended up watching DVDs, playing games offline and I read 3 books. Only time in over a decade I read 3 books within a week. 😂😂
 
There was an internet outage in my area years ago and it was down for 6 hours.

Same here, I had internet back in the dial up days for free when NetZero and Juno were a thing. Then those died off and I had to choose between cable TV and the internet. I chose cable TV. The internet sucked back then anyway. Boooooooring. :sleep:
