WiFi and cable tv down resort wide 12/10

Of course because we all need to see, breathe and live someone else's living moment to what they ate, shopped and meme'd throughout WDW...

Well, it's good to know that if the wi-fi is down, cell towers around WDW will be a lot busier as guest phones saturate the 4G bandwidth with their MDE apps.

I remember when there was no internet at all in the reso.... ok anywhere at all. If you wanted to use the phone you had to do it before you left the room. (Did the Magic Kingdom and Epcot have payphones and were they anywhere but right at the main gate?)

The red phone booths in the UK and Canada pavilions included working pay phones.

Of all the things that needed to be reported on, it's the wifi being down at a theme park.

We can’t be without the driving force of the forum!

I do recall in 2003 that I recall seeing pay phones outside of mouse gears innoventions and then some strewn upon here and there throughout future world.

There's still a pair of pay phones by the old Odyssey Restaurant.

I took this photo to document the bizarre sight of a guy using a cell phone while leaning against a pay phone.

LOL Not even a theme park though.... More likely one of twenty eight or so resorts property-wide. It would have been helpful if OP would have specified which resort though. but, I do get it. It stinks when internet goes down in this day and age.

LOL, reminds me of the cubes in Contemporary Concourse that used to have payphones. They still have the cubes, but now there are note pads and pencils there instead of phones. I took the time to leave some cute notes. one was "I miss my payphone" other one was "Wish I had a phonebook". I'll have to find the pics I took.

I know kinda dry. I won't quite my day job.

This makes me laugh for so many reasons...

Can we please clarify that this is at a single resort because the wording of the oringal Post is quite unclear. To have an outage affecting the entire property would require multiple redundancy failures. Even TDO wouldn’t allow a single point failure design for their critical information systems.

The op has been known to post totally random false information in the past, so I would take this with a grain of salt.

Most of the payphones were only removed a few years ago, 2013 ish.

The OP is correct All Star Sports has had no cable since yesterday and no one here seems to care.

But it's like the train in Bratislava... it won't arrive for a couple of years yet...

Wow! Does this mean people and families were actually looking at each other and talking, or was there mass confusion on what to do with their hands??
