During the week .... I'd have to head for the office as I'd be working from home so I'd need to go in to carry on working. Evening or weekends ... either BD/DVD or book ... have many available so i'm sure I'd find something or I need to finish sorting out copying stuff off of an old NAS which is being retired which would probably take all the time until it was back ...

I'm fine because I will just play some games, ride my bike or do something else. I have plenty of hobbies besides gaming and I don't do social media at all.
My wife, on the other hand, well it's a catastrophe. It's like listening to a cat that's been run over and still in the throws of death.

Did this when I had 3G. LoL racked up around 130mb a game which I was surprised at. Was a bit laggy but was a decent work around.

Go to Wetherspoons and use their WiFi. Even better if it goes down on a Monday. £2 a pint.
How has that not been quoted out of context yet...
Unfortunately get quite varied performance in other places but at home I can play on 4G pretty much like ADSL with interleaving on - solid 30-40ms latency very rarely any fluctuation or packet loss. Shame that isn't the story for 4G in general. I also get pretty much the same download speeds as my 80Mbit FTTC and sometimes twice the upload speed heh - varies from 20 to 40mbit up.
LOL!
Mine was down for around 90 minutes today, plonked a film on whilst I finished spinning in the garage instead of finishing the documentary I was streaming. Other than that I didn't bat an eyelid and, apart from streaming the news on my iPad whilst cooking & eating this evening, it wouldn't really have been an inconvenience.
If there's was something I needed to do then I'd have driven in to town to get 3/4G and used my phone.
The world turned before the internet. If you can't entertain yourself without it then sucks to be you

.... post 21
Only reason I'd be lost if the internet went down was if I was using Google maps to navigate! It'd be annoying if it were at a point in time when I wanted to look something up but if that was that needed I could use my smartphone. I've plenty of things I can get on with which don't require the internet.
