Several hours ago I was in an IRC chatroom for a UK-based weekly tech show to be released later in audio & video podcast forms. Then all the action stopped. Sound stopped, video froze, chatroom stopped responding.
The blasted cat had wandered in front of my chair and stepped on a switch controlling a 9-outlet powerboard into which the broadband router was plugged.
It took about six minutes to restore internet connectivity and in that time the entire stream & feed had died. Various comments in the chatroom claimed my cat had taken out everything, not just my internet.
Since then, I have repositioned to router so the power brick can be plugged directly into the wall socket, thus avoiding further feline shenanigans.
