    Default Internet Outage - what to do to pass the time til it's back up

    Internet Outages have been happening for me twice this week.
    Today it was 4 hours with no internet. Internet is my only form of entertainment I got rid of the cable years ago, but today it had me wondering if I should bring it back.

    So I thought it would be fun to make a list of things we do when they internet is out.

    I've been having issues with my internet cutting in and out, as well as my land line....it is randomly dead for awhile with no dial tone. Just talked to At&T and they are sending a tech out tomorrow to check it out. What service do you have?

    We just suffered one today right when I was about to hop on to work. I feel 100% to work and it happens. I will film if i lose internet and upload later. Makes up for it $$$ wise later.

    I make clips, clean house, and day drink until it comes back on normally... in that order.

    I moved in to my own place a few months back, had no internet for about 2 weeks, it was the most painful experience ever as I spend most of my time working or online in one way or another.

    During that time tho, I found myself keeping busy with working out, cleaning and then if I did (not something i offer but)... well I'd make content!

    It's not really about what service I have. In fact all internet services will experience a outage in some point in the year. I could call my ISP and ask them what was happening this week but when I went to the website they list which areas had outage problems. and which ones are set to for repair.

    As a kid mom would cut the cable because she wanted us to study, but we were able to get 3 or 4 channels and still watch our Tv shows. with only having internet as my for of entertainment and business. I wonder what do to do with that time when I Am waiting for internet. I can't even think of what will happen when I buy a place and I have to wait for internet to be installed.

    - I played sims,
    - read my books
    - listening to audios of my favorite podcast which reminds me I need to download more of them.
    - Thank god I still have DVDs. which means buying more from amazon.
    - music yea I need more available on my compute or who knows might need to make CDs again or music on flash drives.

    4 hours is the lognest I've been without internet it was horrible.

    Without internet I just start cleaning my house, cleaning my closet, organize clothing, or better yet go to the gym or call friends.

    It's nice to have extra time to catch up on reading. Better charge up the Kindle just in case!

    I think I'm addicted to the internet. I get so agitated when there's an outage. I don't have cable either, I cut it years ago. I don't think I will ever get it again. I watch all of my shows and tons of movies via the internet. I also watch Youtube, I read other forums and I research alot of things. There was a year I went without turning on the tv, then I ended up moving the tv to another room because I never turned it on anymore. A while after that I finally cut cable because it became a waste of money to have it anymore.

    Whenever there's an outage w/ my home provider I usually browser things on my phone or I use my phone as a modem/router via the hotspot feature. When Hurricane Sandy hit my electricity was out and my cell service had an outage. I was bored out of my mind, so I took my ass to the library and Starbucks to use their wifi because I couldn't be without internet. But if all else fails I will film and edit stuff, clean/do laundry, go to the gym, go running, go outside if its warm enough, do my hair, watch dvd's.

    Erm, um, ah, is there life outside the internet?

    If I'm not the internet, I am usually out eating, or city hopping, doing something that physically takes me away, and even then I am still on it through cell phone.

    Work out, seems like a good solution that or career-enrichment activities.

    Of course there is but alot of ladies who are cammers and alot of the people who frequent this forum are introvert. So being at home/being at home on the internet is what they enjoy doing. Being out and about on the town/being social can be really draining for alot of introverts.

    I was thinking of a power outage during an ice storm, in addition to internet. I also need to stock up on wood. Reading by the fire would be nice!

    So I thought it would be fun to make a list of things we do when they internet is out.


    i get them a ton and i usually will call and harass my mom or best friend on the east coast. i do heavy affiliate work across multiple industries so i'll also use that time to shop domain auctions or bid for advertisement spots. i have to talk to my mom at least once a day cause i am a spoiled brat so that's on my to do list regardless! and of course my beats wireless always save me - i am a big hiphop head and i love to read so i can escape into my own world while the nets down! i have a kindle that i turn to when there's no net. i pay for cable but do not watch tv unless there's no net , usually only 1 of my service go down never the 2 unless it's maintence or something where both are down on purpose. and also EATING - i love to eat LOL
