QUOTE

A lit cigarette carelessly discarded on a mattress is blamed for starting a conflagration which knocked out services on Internet2 (Abilene Network) between Boston and New York after it burnt cables which run through the Longfellow Bridge, which connects Boston and Cambridge across the Charles River. The fire, which started around 8.20pm, also disrupted services on the Red Line of Boston's subway.

You must've misunderstood me, sir.

If I had a next-gen Console, I'd use its Internet features nearly all the time.
Now if there would be no internet, I'd be pretty screwed.

Don't apologize, and it's not stupid. I thought the same thing at first until I read some more.
