Today, I turned in my final worth 20% of the grade. Today was also the day my internet decided to die. FML

Today, we spent an entire day without being able to do work because our internet connection was down. Turns out, only the router had crashed and nobody bothered to reset it "to avoid doing further damage". FML

Today, I was calling my cable company to tell me how to fix my internet. I stayed on hold for almost half an hour, and then when someone finally picked up, my phone died. FML

Today, I called complaints for my internet provider because, again, it's slowed to a crawl that would make dial-up laugh. They said that I live in a remote area, so maintenance is difficult. When I pointed out I only live ten minutes from the nearest city, they responded by saying they're my only option, so tough. FML

Today, I was doing a job interview on Skype when my roommate decided to reboot the wireless router because "the internet was too slow". The interviewer didn't bother calling again. FML

Today, I kept restarting my internet, wondering why I wasn't receiving any messages from my friends. Then I realized they were all ignoring me. FML

Oh no!
Today, the ethernet cable that I'd waited so long for arrived. I have been gaming on the stupidly unstable wifi for months and finally I thought my life would be saved. Then it turns out that the ethernet port isn't working. FML

Today, a thunderstorm killed our internet and I realized there were lots of things I could do "in the real world", but… I’m too tired to do any of them. FML

Saudi end of the internet, and it was awful…
Today, I was unable to connect to the Internet. After calling support, I was informed that due to a cut cable, the whole country will have no service from that provider for some time. The. Whole. Country. FML

I'm thinking OP could be using their phone data

Then again, FML isn't a very data heavy website...

OP actually tried posting this three and a half years ago and it just finally went through. OP just has the patience of a saint.

#24 mobile data can still be used to load just about any website, plus there is an FML mobile app..

Check and see what programs you have that are connected to the internet, and block access to the unimportant ones. Also, run a virus scan incase that is the issue. Another thing you could try is if you are using wifi, try using a cable.

FML is no place for your realistic and helpful advice.

Quiet, peasant. I am allowed to be nice occasionally.
Cads1 24
Dude, I tried being nice once and it backfired horribly. As I general rule, I try to be a jerk.
SirEnigM0nk 22
LMAO @ "peasant" :). Right on point on troubleshooting. I sometimes see this at work and half the time its either crap that's taking up disk space or corrupted programs. If OP is sharing their Internet access I would see if someone is downloading something big, check for malware, reset router...

#22. I alternate between being nice and being a jerk. Keeps people on their toes, and adds to the air of mysteriousness around me.

Pain and misery is subjective to experience... If the absolute worst thing that you have ever experienced is somebody giving you a dirty look, that experience could be psychologically equal in devastation to somebody who has lived a very unfortunate life and then go bankrupt.. All emotional turmoil comes down to is chemical releases in the brain therefore the stimulus can be extremely variant while the effects are the same...
