I recently had a home network outage. The last thing I tested was the in-wall wiring because I just didn't think that would be the cause. It was. Wiring fails!

I remember a customer support call where the hardware they bought from us wasn't working. The last question I asked was "are you sure that the outlet it's plugged into is working?"

It wasn't.

That's sort of the joke behind this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn2FB1P_Mn8
Oh yeah had outages recently. Turned out to be corroded connector to box in the street. Not a wire per-se but close.
