My internet connection was down for an entire day and I SURVIVED
The struggle was real 🙅♂️🛜❌
Monday was a rough day for me. I woke up at 730 am to an email from my internet service provider saying there was an outage in my area. Every other time I've received this type of email, my service was uninterrupted. I made it almost 3 years of living in my current apartment before my internet connection ever failed.
I found out that there was some construction going on and they somehow managed to mess up the internet for the most central part of downtown. Businesses were unable to accept debit card payments and it was causing all sorts of problems.
It wasn't until 11 pm that finally the internet was restored. That means I went a whole day without being able to do a lot of the things I normally do. It was pretty boring, but also kind of peaceful.
In today's video, I wanted to talk a bit about what it was like to not have internet for a day. I've grown so used to always having it that I really was stunned for it to be gone all of a sudden. I know many people deal with this type of thing regularly, but for me here where I live it is rare.
Enjoy the video! I'm playing some more Fortnite while I talk about all this. They just added the web slingers back in honor of Spider-Man Miles Morales.

Like back in the olden times, before there were cords.
It was an unfamiliar feeling. It's been so long since I lived a life without technology.
My „survival record“ was 8 days during a holiday some years ago. 🙋🏼♂️ First 1-2 days are the hardest.
8 days 😱 I could do that if I was traveling somewhere fun, but not just sitting at home.
You have been able to feel what many people out there have felt, Bro. Ha ha..
What you said in your video about what it was like to not have internet for a day is something that holds true.
When we are all connected to everyone around the world and then disconnected, it is a serious accident.
Be thankful that this rarely happens where you are, because there are certain areas where communication has to be cut off for days due to internet network interruptions, and some even have no network at all.
I'm tremendously thankful that I don't have internet connection issues regularly. It's something that I imagine most people on earth still struggle with. Even if it is working, internet speeds are much slower in many places.
Internet, social media becoming part of over lifestyle, we are spending most of over time online that's why when there is anything missing we feel bored
Next step is living in VR. I don't think that'll happen anytime soon, but it will eventually I most likely.
Hopefully not the first of many. With all the talk of the failing grid, failing infrastructure, cyber attacks and of course, a government bent on tyrannical destruction, we will be lucky to make it through the year with our internet intact 🤣
Glad to hear it was peaceful for you. Some will go absolutely bonkers with no internet.
I'm surprised there are not more interruptions, you mentioned many good reasons why it may happen more than usual.
Last night was hectic for us, we haven't had electricity whole night, and it was very hard for us to sleep in such a hot weather with out electricity.
Good grief that sounds uncomfortable. I was about your climate and looked up your weather forecast. The results made me feel even worse for you and your family.
The worst time to go without electricity is when it is extremely hot or cold. Then it becomes more than just an annoyance, but also a threat against your well being.
Has your electricity come back on yet?
Yes I also sometimes have this type of error. It is so irritating.
definitely a pain in the ass when this happens
See how much we have been addicted to internet :)
At least I didn't feel physical withdrawal symptoms without being able to get online 😆
I had more or less the same thing happen to me as you. Although in my area it was not uncommon for the internet to go down, it never took more than a few hours to come back, unlike other areas where it would go down for days. However at one point in 2019 my internet went down never to return. I went 2 years without connection due to structural problems with the company, surviving on mobile data haha.
Maybe I exaggerate, but I would say it was the worst time of my life 😅.
2 years! That's an eternity. Sounds pretty miserable. Worst time of your life doesn’t seem like an exaggeration to me.
Someone also wrote about his internet condition that was down for some hours
A lot of people faced that. Who knows why?
It will just be like the world is ending.
Hahaha
I would let myself think that it could have been an attack on the grid. However, it was just a very small portion of my town that was affected, so I don't really think it was anything more than an accident.
How did you do it? Like seriously I got so dependent on having an internet connection I swear I'd get a heart attack if it's off for a whole fucking day...
Im getting pissed just when it disconnects 😂😂
Just sat in a corner and stared at a photo of myself all day and night as I jerked off while listening to opera music 🤣
I can't imagine myself surviving without my phone
You'd make it. It would just be a weird feeling at first. Eventually you may start to enjoy it.
oh dang! yea.. that sucks! I was down for 3 days straight last year and it was traumatic! :P
that once cat guy in the opening pic on ur vid looks just like how my cat would look if he were a fortnite guy..
I bet you were in a dark place during those 3 days 😆
Your cat needs to be a skin or at least some cute back bling.
living without internet for 1 day is not a big deal, you're not going to die hahaha... here where I live we have power outages every day, 3 hours a day to be precise...
I was being facetious. I know that others such as yourself have a much more difficult time with inconsistent internet and electricity.
Haha yeah in this day and age, not having the internet feels like doomsday! 🤣
However, I do enjoy that peace you get once in awhile.
And i believe in
DISCONNECTING TO CONNECT!I love it!
At least that is what I tell myself when I travel and is too poor to get myself some roaming data 😅
I can say that can be a great challenge since most of our activities nowadays requires internet. Congrats on surviving the day without internet connection! haha.
Now a days era of Now a days era of relationship far off is going on and man who is working only on internet then man has to face a lot of problems if he is not there.
It gets super inconvenient when you are running a business... otherwise I can handle it, at least to some extent... and for a limited time.😎
