Having done this informally many years ago for a dozen neighbors in a village before we got decent broadband I can relate. People get real weird and twitching when there internet is out and there is nothing like being woken up at 6am on a Sunday with a "customer" in you bedroom ranting that the INTERNET IS DOWN. Or having to bust the kid who hid a wifi repeater in the village library to torrent gigabytes of "ISOs" over our tiny 1.5Mbit connection

- SilverRed 5y agoI moved to a new apartment and forgot to set up an account for electricity so my power was shut off for a day and a half. The most interesting thing was how it actually didn't bother me too much because I still had my phone with mobile data, if I didn't have any form of internet connection that would have been _much_ more of a hassle since I wouldn't have even been able to access the energy company website to resolve the issue.
