@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.
@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.
@phillycodehound hmm, I count myself as an 80s kid, I guess I'm 90s too (teenage) and think of things in the same way - a generation that lived through the once-only, can-never-happen-again, analog to digital transition. Bit of a shame the video appears to be AI images and narration :-/
