Ohio Woman's Shotgun Showdown with Internet Cable Ends in Outage

In a rural Ohio town, a woman's battle with sluggish internet speeds led her to an unconventional solution: blasting her cable line with a shotgun. Spectrum technicians, upon investigation, discovered the severed line peppered with buckshot, confirming the cause of the outage. This incident prompts reflection on the effectiveness of such DIY methods and the potential repercussions of taking network issues into one's own hands.
While some might view this as an extreme measure, it underscores the frustration many feel with unreliable internet service. Experts warn against such actions, emphasizing that tampering with infrastructure can lead to legal consequences and further service disruptions. Instead, they recommend contacting service providers to address connectivity issues professionally.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time unconventional methods have been used to address internet problems; previous incidents include individuals attempting to 'repair' lines with household tools, often resulting in more harm than good.
