You've never experienced an outage?

not in recent years, and if my personal connection has any issues theres always a wifi in range

You're one of the lucky ones to have a stable connection.

When mine goes down, I tether to my cell phone which has 250GB available for emergencies.

you must know quite well the state of internet infrastructure in the UK is quite poor

however in larger cities i've not experienced much trouble. i'm assuming you must be in a rural area if cut-outs are a side dish for you with an emergency data sim at hand?
