Feeling Disconnected!

1.30pm (Yesterday) - That’s when it all started!

12.00pm – Knock water bottle over, emptying entire contents over desk and chair!
 
12.01pm – Phone rings as I’m in the kitchen getting paper towels, in my haste I rush back and sit on a soaking wet chair!
 
12.02pm – Good news says the provider, it looks like the fault is due a breakage on our dedicated, highly expense fibre optic line. An engineer will fix it as soon as they’ve located the breakage.
 
12.03pm – Bad news, the breakage could be anywhere between Crawley and Livingston, we’ll update you in 90mins.
