Oh no, the cable went out

When I got home from work on Friday, my Internet service was out and my Time-Warner Cable service was out as well. I went to call and realized that I pretty much use the Internet for everything. I had to search all over to find my phonebook. Representatives said there was an outage in the Shelby area, but they weren't specific on how widespread it was. Everything is back now so I can Google for phone numbers again.
