Had my first interweb outage today since the phone was switched to VOIP. Of course, no phoneline, before it would have been an independent unaffected line.

If my TV was streaming, then that too would have been lost. Imagine the interweb going down, or being oversubscribed, during the World Cup Final. Or a vulnerable person desperately needing their landline.

I'll be holding on to coaxial cable tv and Freeview as long as possible, always good to have an alternative, but they are looking close down those next.

What are called 'upgrades', are really just cheaper more profitable for providers, and leaves the punters far more vulnetable to losing all services.

"All your eggs in one basket...", never a good thing.
