Hello friends,

I have seen that whenever we have any computer related problem, we post them on TE, discuss it and then get it solved...and then i thought that what if the problem is that we are unable to connect to the Internet... or something is wrong with the modem etc etc... at that moment we won't be able to post that problem on TE obviously.. well unless one has a one more Internet connection :p.. so what do u guys do when this kind of situation arises.. how do u solve your problem,how do u basically cope up with the situation..

:D

I'll go out and access net from a cybercafe/friend.

If I'm not on a vacation, can't spend too much time without net...

Actually never happened to me till now and I have never gave a thought to it. It seems to me that you are quite a thinking guy. :eek:hyeah:
But, nice thought... I must say.
Good luck.

Since the last 2 months Hathways conx has begun to sux big time. I have many hours of downtime every week and no amount of complaints has sorted the problem out. So I have started to do a long overdue house cleaning of my HDDs - removing old outdated programs ..... I have also started to finally read the thousands of saved pages.

Nice thread idea.

I basically don't use the 'net much at home, so when it goes down I may not even notice, unless it's weekend and it's my regular two hours of net time.

At work I suffer if there's no net, and there is always an hour or so downtime each week. I go for a walk or out, or try to sit and do some work instead!
