Please list your longest session times here. Let's see who can set the highest record :)
This will obviously be easier for ppl who use a Speedstick connected to a router...

@morkhans has mentioned that he has been connected from 14 Feb 20:21 to 17 Feb 6:32 (and counting)... That's 2 days, 10 hours, 11 minutes :)
 
mine is probably no more than a couple hours
 
7 days non-stop this happen last week from from 8 February - 15 February 2011 - 15th of February was experiencing problems with transmission of the base station(vanishing and reappearing same CELL ID number) even on the 16, and early hours of the morning 18th but I am happy to report I don't have frequent disconnections or anything to that effect.

Woaw!! Nice!! I'm gonna start running mine tonight and see how long it goes :)
 
Just a suggestion to keep your modem alive - connect to an IRC server and idle or keep skype/aim(not sure if it will work) but i know my IRC sessions keeping my connection alive. - even if u use 30megs a month to keep the connection alive :)

Good suggestion!! I actually have a Linksys SIP router connected to my 3G router - it sends a keep-alive message every minute to my SIP provider so should also keep my connection open ;) (theoretically)
 
Well longest i've had was 8 days back when i bought it in November.
This year 2 days & a few hours was the longest connection kept.
 
I have only had 2 outages with my black Cell C speedstick since 3 December, last it was off was 2 February. I put that down to living in a very low traffic area - Richards Bay, I never had the disconnect problem here.
 
I have a question.

How do find out if your connection has been disconnected?

Don't you have your routers setup to connect automatically if connection is dropped?

Yes, but the status page, at least mine (MR3420), shows the online time.

I also have the MR3420. Where's the status page? System Tools > Statistics > Enabled?

EDIT: Found it, Status > System Up Time
