You are probably not aware if you are reading this from the states but there has been a massive Broadband outage in the UK for the last few days. The red spots on the map show the people without internet!
Some builder managed to rip up a whole pipe of fibres that were running into one of the main broadband exchanges near London and took out 10,000's of peoples access! Not to mention mobile phones too (way to design a resilient network guys)!
The chap above looks far too happy by the way! The drill machine (sorry not a technical term I know) was so strong it apparently pulled the fibres out of the ground right back to the exchange.
Thankfully the kids and I were sat happily watching films on our KScape feeling very smug indeed!
Netflix and so forth not really that resilient after all
Happy Holidays to everyone.
