S’poreans spent a day without Internet complaining on the Internet because Singtel’s broadband down

Lest we forget this dark day without Wi-Fi.

Singaporeans around the country were left without Wi-Fi for a day on Nov. 3, as Singtel's fibre broadband service experienced a one day disruption.

So what did netizens do without the ability to access the Internet using Wi-Fi?

Complain about the inability to access the Internet using Wi-Fi, on the Internet itself, of course.

The complaints were run of the mill initially.

With many expecting the problem to be solved relatively quickly.

But when the WiFi continued floundering, the memes started coming out.

Ughhh.

When the problem persisted, people started to take note of the duration of the down time.

Although there were a few lucky enough to get Wi-Fi during the dark day (For one reason or another).

Even when Singtel assured that data for the time period would be waived, a few pertinent questions arose.

The fear is real.

But those are questions for another day. For now, we are thankful that Wi-Fi is finally back.

We will never take it for granted again.
