That's not good, however one slices it. About the only thing one can do, is if it's a laptop or somehow portable, and one can either plug in at work, a friend's house, or whatever; is what I had to do for the period I didn't have Internet at home.

Set a queue for enough work, and sync BOINC up when one can get to a network somewhere else. CPDN and some other projects with either long WUs, or at least a sufficiently long enough deadline where one can plug in at a friend's house, without looking like a permanent fixture on their couch would be good. Stoppying by once or twice a week (depending on the friend), and explaining the need to get online briefly, before going and doing whatever might seem reasonable. Daily though, they might wonder....

CPDN and a few other projects are ideal for those long network down periods.... Primegrid also has a few projects one can set their CPU to get exclusively that will take an extra long time to crunch as well At least it could keep the CPUs busy, though the GPUs, I don't think Prime has week long GPU tasks for obviosu reasons...

muon's standalone is good for that sort of thing because you have to have at least 10 results before you can send em back to brooks

Though it doesn't pay anywhere's near the topl, Climate takes around 5 days to a week to complete. One can visit a friend weekly, without it seeming like one's just over there to use the Internet. If on a laptop (though desktops sort of elliminates that, which from mid-towers I'm guessing, yes that would be odd to walk over with a car full of computers), it'd be easy to plug in...

If it's waiting for Internet to be installed at a new address, there's always dialup for the few days. It's a pain, and slow as hell for today's Internet, but could allow a quick temp connection for things just like this. Though if one goes with a, a trial for a dialup account one will cancel works best, as one doesn't want to keep paying for something after broadband is back in the house; it's best to avoid things that would take ages to upload/download as per the BW limitations....
