I was riding in Europe for 3 months without a phone or computer. I relied on internet cafes for phonecalls and uploading pictures.
It is possible, but only for light usage. You can find internet cafes only in big cities or backpacker destinations. If a city has immigration from Africa/Middle East (lower income, high need for international communication) or it has a large number of hostels, there will be at least a few cyber cafes. Many backpacker hostels also have computers guests can use (or at least know where a cyber is). I would google the next city's cyber location at the end of my hour. Normally 1-2 euro per hour, occasionally up to 3-4.
Libraries also work, but they have unusual hours and you will normally have to sign-up before they let you on. They are free though, and you can find them even in small towns.
I generally got online once per week.
