Probably a couple of days. I tend to forget about the internet when I'm absorbed in other things.

Willingly? I'd say somewhere around a day. Even when we go on vacation we still bring our laptop with us.

When I fell into a really deep depression about 3yrs ago I took a 3mth internet break. once I got back online I stopped using message boards, and didn't share as much of my personal information online.

I only just got comfortable enough again to participate in board and blogging, But I avoid drama and cliques for my own mental health.

I typically try to avoid it on the weekend. I have been on vacations where I've avoided it for longer periods of time.

I honestly have no idea but I wouldn't think it very long since I love to research and did some college courses online.

In my last apartment I chose to go without internet service since I could use it at work or my parent's house. Every weekend and sometimes longer, I went without internet and didn't mind it in the least. It's nice to unplug sometimes.

On days I go to school and work I'll be gone all day, but I'll usually check my email from my phone...so I guess that doesn't count.

The longest time was probably around two months. It was winter and for some reason I just wasn't too interested going online.

During the day I don't go for more than an hour, during the night, no more than 4 hours.
I had to choose 3-7 days though because of camping. I have, and can go without it.

I can't stand being away from my computer. It's like a limb. I always wind up finding a reason to get online.

Vacations tend to ruin internet usage. I've gone almost 2 weeks before.

Couple of days, while I'm on vacation. Especially if it's an international trip, it's hard to find internet (and sometimes there's no time!).

Three hours maybe to watch a movie or go to a concert. Even then I usually check the internet on my phone at least once or twice. I'm either on my laptop, my phone, or my iPad from the second I wake up from the second I go to bed. I'm very on the grid.

I've gone long weekends without it, on camping trips and whatnot. Horrible.

Weekend getaways are mostly when we leave the web behind. Have a hard time staying off while at home.

Every now and again I shut it off for about 4 days just because I need the break!

Willingly....MAYBE 2 hours.....I am an internet addict. Truly! I sleep, but only because I HAVE to, and even then, I wake up to go online sometimes. I have been forced by Master to be offline for as long as a week, it was worse than being whipped!

4 days. But only because we were in Mexico and the wifi was expensive.
