   I am not wrong. I own a freakin' ISP.  Do you not understand what you   
   are saying?  If the internet is "down", you cannot get on it.  Down   
   could mean any number of things... Your hardline to your ISP was cut,   
   someone drove over your node (cable internet), etc etc.   
      
   I can assure you, when the internet is down, the signals to the VPN are   
   not floating along magically.  If you can browse the internet then it's   
   not DOWN!
