lol at all the IT nerd rage. If you could stop violently shaking with indigence for a moment and read the base argument people are presenting, you might have no need to post the same response over and over.

You have a contract with SE to provide a service, their ISP provider issues are theirs to deal with, not yours. If they are failing to provide the service agreed upon in our contract, they are obligated to compensate or face breach of contract suit. Now, they have cleverly in-bedded in their ToS a clause that allows for them temporarily shut down service at their discretion. There are any number of contract law arguments that can be made on the consumer's behalf to combat this clause, such as their action being a violation of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and that they are using this clause inappropriately.

You could (rightfully in my opinion) argue that it has yet to reach that point, or any other number of legal arguments to the contrary. But to babble on about how people dont anything about the internet and are therefore wrong shows a gross misunderstanding of the issue on your own part. I dont think SE owes us anything, but to pretend like their ToS is ironclad or that this problem could never spawn a real issue of compensation seems like foolishness to me.
