Internet access is increasingly becoming as crucial as any other utility. For some people, losing Internet might interfere with work, school, or medical devices.
It’s not “the end of the world” if my electricity is out for 5 hours, but it might cost me hundreds of dollars in spoiled food. It’s not “the end of the world” of my Internet is out for 5 hours, but it might “cost” me PTO.
