I myself have to ration my time on the net. Try to take specified breaks where I'll surf the web, otherwise just try to remain focused on work. I find though that the more tedious my work task happens to be, the easier it is to allow my mind to wander to the net.
I couldn't go back to dial-up... would probably spend the same amount of time but get less out of it.
On the positive side, 10-15 years ago, people were hooked on TV which is a 100% passive activity. At least with the Internet, there's a level of interactivity that makes me feel I'm being more productive than someone sitting mindlessly in front of a tube.
Nonetheless, surfing the net is still not something I want to catch myself doing during every waking free moment I have.
