Did you ever loose Internet connection? How long was your longest break?

For some days now I had been without connection to Internet. The supplier is installing new (and hopefully better) equipment. Today I'm online again. Of course there are some things that went unattended during this break. I wonder, did you ever experience such a break from internet and what were the consequences. An overflowing mailbox? Or something worse? Please, write.

I loose internet but less often because mine is a wireless net which provides less error and with less equipment so, if there is any network installation it will be happen with less time

in my country there are lots of internet providers, but two of them are major. i have had internet connection for almost 5-6 years now. my first internet provider (kujtesa) was good. but due to full server, it kept loosing connection 3-4 times a day, but only for 5-6 minutes. that annoyed me very much. that's why i switched to the other internet provider (iPKO), which was way much better than the older one. i never loose internet connection, only in extreme conditions. the last time that me and my whole city lost internet connection was the last winter due to extremely cold conditions. the cables of internet freezed. this lost lasted about 2 days, but later everything went fine.

My internet connections were disconnected when we were shifting to a new house. When I enquired about internet connection my ISP says you have to wait two months to get connection. These two months was the hardest time in my life.

Well, I congrulate you for having a life with no greater hardships than loosing your internet connection, but, yes, I know what you mean. I also got very accostumed to being connected and to do a lot of things -work, relations, pleasure- throught the web. Hope you will never experience it again!

I lost the internet connection when there was a problem with whole of India's communication.A ship hit the main cable somewhere in pacific I beleive.Not actually due to that but due to overburden on the servers.It kept on coming and going.

Fortunately, something like that has not happened to me since I got the internet subscription. :)

You are really fortunate, but I live in a middlesize town in Latin America, where the demand grows far more quickly than the supply, so it happens every now and then.

Yeah, I have the same experience with you, even worse. I don't know which kind of your connection: broadband or wireless connection? You indeed had been without connection to Internet during some days, however something wrong with my wireless connection made a contribution to being limited or no connectivity now and then. So I had to repaire it at all times, which made me pretty annoyed!
