It sure is nice to have power and internet back after 3 days. We dealt with the power outage pretty well with backup batteries, but loosing the internet was a challenge. There's nothing tougher than being forced to be alone with your thoughts for days on end ;-)
Actually, there is one thing tougher, getting support from Xfinity.

@bitsplusatoms I feel your pain as several years ago I had an Internet aoutage at home for ten days or so. Did your radio equipment help in some way?

@amoroso 10 days! Brutal. Cellular data worked, but was totally swamped since everyone's internet was down. Voice connectivity was fine for the most part. From a utilitarian perspective, Radio was mostly of use for CERT members.

@bitsplusatoms The good thing is my ISP is the same as my mobile carrier, i.e. Vodafone Italy, and they offered free cellular data over the duration of the outage.

Others were quick to say that they only use social features with real friends and family. I'm not sure why that would be a "but..."; it's the whole point of those features.
-
About 17% of respondents here said Yes. That's much lower. I have a couple of guesses why: first, a lot of commenters didn't seem to consider features like a game profile, friends list, or the activity feed "social features".

Interesting results! I don't have great data on this, but the XBox game culture report says about 1/2 of respondents play online multiplayer games. I think you have to have the social features turned on to do that, so I'm going to guess about 50% of XBox users have those features turned on.
