This morning when i got up, I had no internet. Shock horror can life go on ?
I ALMOST had to have a conversation over my cornflakes with my better half !
At first thought it was just my connection needing resetting but an hour later still no connection and a message from orange the provider about a difficulty and a promise to resolve withing the morning, hour later and still no connection, another message service resumes tomorrow.
I understand now it was not just orange but sfr and bouygues were similar. It is not clear if it was local, regional or national.
Ok by lunch time it was back and working, no reason given and nothing on the site to say why. Then reports started to come out about a major microsoft outage and denial of service etc. Update going wrong, virus, attack conspiracy theories are on the riseā¦
Ok my question.
Do you have a back up in place for data attack?
Do you rely on onedrive, google drive, or similar ?
If using chromebooks and no service how do you work ?
If reliant on office 365, google docs or similar have you a backup plan ?
There is a move to replace copper with fibre because of cost and speed, but part of the plan is to remove home phone lines totally and replace with voip but imagine no internet connection.
Ok i am cheating a little as many have. Mobiles with large data plans and are in 4g, 5g or plus data sharing is switched on so land connections are almost not needed by many. But not all, thinking of older people, disabled, low income or disadvantaged groups.
I was going to title this does life exist without the internet or www ?
