Must admit it, too. It has happened more than once, either not having my PC available or any internet connection... it doesn't feel quite right.

I lost my cable internet for about five hours on thursday because someone cut the main fibre cable for my isp. By the fifth hour I was definately feeling frustrated because I had stuff I needed to do.

I lived for several months without an internet connection. It required me to change my habits, but aside from that was actually quite refreshing. Actually, I think I'd rather be without net access than permanently going back to 56k or less... There just is something about having to wait for ages for a single page to load that annoys me something extreme...

Haha, I've been with 56k for as long as I can remember, last month was 130hours...
