The Xfinity ad says, “The WiFi is booming!”
One might get the impression that it is so fast, and so reliable, that you actually notice that it is “booming!”
In fact, the ad makes you think that people are moving to Xfinity territories because the wifi is booming.
Actually, depending on where you live, there can be relatively frequent spotty outages.
Though the Xfinity app lets you know they are aware of the outage(s), they can vary by length and frequency.
When the wifi goes out for whatever reason, one cannot think of it as “booming!”
The economy can be booming. Business, if you own one, can be booming. It’s really a stretch to think of wifi as booming.
These days, it’s tough to live without wifi. Certainly, one can buy data plans that don’t require Internet connections, but most of us use the internet for just about everything – phone, TV, computers and other devices.
Some older folks use it sparingly. Most younger folks use it constantly. In fact, for younger folks, they are on it all the time, or close to.
Even if you are on the internet frequently, it’s tough to think of it booming. In fact, you probably don’t think about it at all, unless it goes out. In fact, a good utilitarian service should not be noticed if it is working.
When was the last time you received a handwritten letter in the mail? Or, when was the last time you received a holiday card in the mail?
Most such communications are done by text or e-mail, or through social media.
It’s certainly less time-consuming to send a text or e-mail, vs. a letter or card.
It’s even getting so commonplace, we no longer see such communication as impersonal.
Not only is it less time-consuming to send electronic messages, you can send the same messages to an unlimited number of people with one click.
Not only is it no longer impersonal, it’s extremely convenient. So much so that it’s getting tough to live without it.
That’s what makes lengthy outages so frustrating.
So, the next time you use the internet for whatever purpose, remember that Xfinity wants you to think of it as “booming!”
Most of us would rather think of it as fast and reliable, which is not always the case.
Communication, business and entertainment have been revolutionized by the internet. Some of us have to constantly watch our screen time, because we can get too much of a good thing.
As long as the internet works, life is normal. When it doesn’t, it could be a real pain.
So, ask yourself: Does my internet provider make my life “booming?”
Maybe. But, just as likely, maybe not.
