I get so frustrated when my internet is down. I was down for a long time today and didn't know how to get back on but it must have been the provider because it just started working again. Does anyone else get frustrated when internet connection is down?

I get very frustrated when the internet is down. I am basically shut in caring for my son so when my internet is down I get a little more than frustrated. It is my life line to the outside world. I get most of my socialization that way and I make my living using it.. So I come completely unraveled when I cannot get online!!

I certainly do - except I do not have the physical pain to deal with like you do. I only have inernal pain...I acm a caregiver for my son who was injured in an automobile accident 3 years ago. So I do understand at some level!

I hate that myself. I have had my connection just go down and I would get frustrated and mad. I always call and I wind up on the phone with cablevision for hours. I always get the run around also. But they do send someone and they do seem to fix it. ( out of 10 times it is the provider not the computer.

I would have been on the phone with the cable company also but it was 230am and I didn't think they were there. I just don't have the patiene for sure. It must have been provider because it cleared itself up but took until 7am.

I am sure it was the provider. They are not perfect you know. They have their problems also. So, as long as it's working now, thats all that counts.

Well soapies i the times when we do most of the activity depending on internet one way or the other, it can be quite frustrating when it is down. Its a blown up reaction because of our obsession. Every thing in this world has levels of effectiveness and internet is no exception. I have experienced varied forms of frustration. Take the current one I go through on myLot: after I write my topic in the box and hit start or submit, I suddenly find the connection is lost. And since I'm new here yet, I can't even paste it back wfter restoration. :( I do my bill payments & other transactions mostly online. Mid way through, the connection conks off & I get nervous if I had hit the pay button twice. Sometimes, I have to print my e-ticket at the last minute for flight & I find the connection is down. I'm addicted, like many others to working online and when internet is down, I suddenly feel lost out. I keep trying to reconnect repeatedly and it adds to frustration. But it would be wise to remain composed while trying to get help. Feel better :)

Hi Pushhyarag2000 I do a lot of activity on internet also and I am a chronic pain patient so I use the internet to keep my mind off the pain. I am glad you understand how I am feeling. I am also quite addicted. I will try to take your advice next time and remain composed.
