Losing connections is very frustrating!

Dear fellow mylotters and friends, I'm sure some of you have experienced having disconnected unexpectedly while surfing the net. A few days back, as I was watching a streaming of a television drama series, my connection just went out. I was wondering why all of a sudden it went out at around 1a.m. our time when almost 80% of the population is in dreamland. The telephone line went dead too. The following morning, I immediately contacted our service provider (thanks to cellular phone invention we do not have to rely solely on land line connections) and found out that there was again an attempt to steal cable lines by some unscrupulous individuals who wanted to sell the copper wirings used by the telephone company. Fortunately, the attempt was foiled and the tel. co. was able to fix and return connections by mid day of the same day. It has happened twice before that these thieves succeeded to steal meters of cables and rendered our telephone lines dead for some number of months. In another attempt, few years back, we learned that a resident from our subdivision actually shot a man caught cutting the lines on a telephone pole nearby that eventually killed the perpetrator. Just wondering if this only happens here in our country. Are there any of you out there who had experienced such? I don't know if there are long term solutions to this kind of problems. There are people who only rely on quick means to survive and in our country, the fight against poverty has been an aged old problem. Somehow, I wish to see the day that better things would come to save the world and rid of those people who only see gain at the expense of others. What have you to say?
