Just recently, I found myself without any form of network access whatsoever (mobile phone, landline, DSL, cable) in the middle of Germany, not even 50 miles away from Karlsruhe, home of the very first CS university department and the very first Internet provider in Germany. Made me appreciate once more, what "always having high-speed access" means, and I was pretty grateful that my Android phone caches my Google Calendar data :-)

@JörgWMittag: In the UK, you can have this experience as often as you like. You simply have to get your mobile phone service from Three.
