Rolling blackouts

Do NOT be fooled. The rolling blackouts are a common occurrence that WILL strike at the most inconvenient times of every day. Whether you have just arrived home from a day in the heat and are wishing to feel the nice breeze of the air-conditioner, you are uploading pictures or blog posts on facebook, while you are taking a shower, the power WILL go out… and better yet, you WILL be surprised EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

On average each blackout will last about a couple of minutes and they can occur at intervals as frequent as every other hour (and of course, sometimes more frequently).

Coming from a place where having internet 24 hours a day is considered 'the norm', having power every other hour can sometimes pose itself as a bit of a challenge and inconvenience.
