Re: biggest mistake of my life :( superhub problems

No, he's right, to some extent. Such situations will affect some more than others - me for example, I have three (!) backup internet connections as if/when my internet fails at home, I'm essentially left incapable of doing anything.

My life, while at home, is primarily focused on my computer(s) and secondarily the internet. Sure I can deal without either, but if I lacked either at home I might as well be asleep or out - since there's sod all else I can do here. If I had to do without (and, didn't have backups as most people wouldn't) then I can see the parralels of being evicted - I'd have to do everything at work/the library, which would be a pain, and the uncertainty of not knowing when I'll be able to get back again would also be stressful. Hence, in line with the epic geek I am, I have five computers, four internet connections and six smartphones just so I can stay connected come anything short of a nuke. (P.S. Anyone fancy buying an old computer, phone or three?)

Mind you, I might put it to be similar to having a water leak or power cut more than being evicted, but the effect is the same - you can't do anything useful in your home (or at least I can't) without it.
