3-4 years it feels longer, at the start I was only on an hour or so now and again. Now its round 8 hours a day and weekends are mad.

C'mon, then, old timer ... tell us what the internet was like back in the olden days!
I first got regular access to the 'net when I started a new job early 1999. Got online for myself with ntl free dial-up at the end of that year.
Been broadband for a little over a year now.

De ja vu and since I'm feeling lazy tonight I shall now C&P my answer from the "dark side" forum :p
1994 ish, good ole windows 3.1 or whatever it was back then
The joys of low speed modems, flakey ISP connections and very, very basic webpages that took an age to load.
Would'nt like to think how many different ISP's I used over the years trying to find a decent dial up provider, even tried AOL (shudder) for a while.
