Car Crashes, Then Internet Crashes

Item: Car crashes ... so does Internet: Some service restored by Tuesday evening/Nick Rotunno, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: At 4:20 a.m., thousands of North Idaho and eastern Washington customers lost Internet service when a Toyota Corolla struck a utility pole in Otis Orchards, Wash., according to the Spokane County Sheriff's Department. The collision knocked over a pole at the intersection of Starr Road and Wellesley Avenue, and ripped apart an aerial fiber optic cable.

Question: Did you lose Internet service Monday? How did you cope?
