I still do not see a legit reason for "venting". I'm not being mean, but look at it from a different perspective for a moment. Is it really that much of a big deal if your internet is not hooked up for a while?
That would depend on what you use the internet for. If the internet is your only source of entertainment then fuck yes it's terrible. If life isn't amusing then what is the point?
Personally I'd rather go without internet than without power. I've been without power for over a week more than once in my life. I can say with all honestly that it sucks.
