Pron was once paper-based. Some people get by with that when the internet is down. |

I feel your pain. Went without net at home for three weeks after my old ISP shut down without warning, and spent a lot of time arguing with the parent cable company on how to get it back, to no avail.
I'm back now, but the current alternative is not too great, and I'm still tossing up whether or not to go through the pain of switching AGAIN, but at least this time it'll be planned so there won't be so much downtime if it happens.
As for how I coped, I spent the first week watching every single Eve movie I've ever downloaded, getting rid of the ones I decided I didn't want anymore. Then I spent a bit of time working on a new vid, but my partner in crime (KelThuzad) struck issues with his Premiere, so after a few days that had to be put on ice. 
Week two, I reinstalled Freelancer. Took me 2-3 days to complete, spent the rest of the week exploring the rest of the game, shooting Outcasts and later Nomads until that got boring (Corsairs ftw).
Week three was a struggle as I installed DOSBox in desperation and tried to get TIE Fighter to work, but it required a change of the config.sys which doesn't exist in DOSBox so bad luck me. Made up the rest of the time surfing forums from work, watching TV/movies at home.

How did I live without the internet? Let's see, AOL, Prodigy, Compuserve, BBSs, and TSN.
For more enjoyment and greater efficiency, consumption is being standardized. |

When mine went down, also during moving, I just kept visiting the consignment bookstore.
I also worked extralong hours at work since they still had internet. Suspiciously, my productivity didn't really rise much.

I went back to my old faithful standby, the book. During the last fight I had with BT internet, I decided to switch to another ISP and had to wait 4 weeks for it to change over. Read over 35 novels in one month

I don't have friends in this town and at the time, I didn't have transport. Where I live now, 70% of the population don't speak English as their first language and the other 30% are more interested in beating them up and violence is not my preference on a night out.

That is who's internet i am abusing atm.
Currently still another few weeks before i go back to college. Problem is back here at home living with my dad who has no use for internet or cable leaves me with few things to do. Particularly when my video game and movie collection got left in storage in another state with the rest of my crap.
Add in that most my friends work a schedule of 5am-2pm while i work 5pm-11pm (pizza delivery driver ftw), it really makes it hard to be able to do stuff except on the occasional friday or saterday after work.
But im pulling thru with help from Civ4, Rome total war and Call of Duty 2 which I got from Direct2Drive before leaving school. So does anyone else feel my pain?
