Internet users be ready for a widespread network outage that could restrict users from accessing internet. Internet users across the globe are expected to face internet disruption for the next 48 hours. According to Russia Today, the internet will be disrupted for users as key domain servers undergo routine maintenance.


This has to be some kind of bullshit right ?

It seems it is rather exaggerated. If the DNS servers you are using are configured properly you shouldn't even notice.

I call BS since the amount of essential money transfer transactions alone going through the internet would cause massive disruption and problems - it won't entirely be knocked down for 2 days.

The internet will go down from everyone downloading everything for off-line use.

Makes me think of the time when windows 10 beta came out years ago. The internet literally was like dial up slow.

Yes it is.

Internet is like electricity these days. When it goes down, chaos is just around the corner. Not happening. And if it does, that is major event.
