"Moving: There are few forces more powerful than geeks desperately trying to get internet in a new apartment."

If my parents turned off the internet, or just blocked youtube, my #1 mission would be to restore that service by whatever means possible.

I resemble that. Somehow the lack of internet out where I live has ended up with me building an 85km FTTH network over the past 4 years. Hopefully it will double in size this year now that it's finally bootstrapped to profitability.

Restoring the internet would be a pretty geeky and tinker-y mission on its own

Agreed! I had a recent experience with no internet and was running around my house yanking coax cables, checking my electrical cupboard and whacking the router.

Turns out, there was a line issue outside my house :P
