  • Use your phone. Click the wifi icon in the menubar and under Personal Hotspot choose "utsc's iPhone".

  • Hotspot off your phone. It's generally adequate for e-mails and Teams calls.

    • Just go audio only for Teams calls though

    Assuming your neighbour's internet is also down and you can't ask to share their connection, wireless connection is your only option, so hotspot your phone or use another mobile connection.

    • Need to learn to hack Wifi :)

    Log your time for work as "outage" and "outrage" to your provider. /s

      I must've missed the bit where OP says that they have an office to go to. 🤷‍♂️

      There are tens of thousands of people who WFH as sole traders, contractors (et al) who have been working from home well-before the pandemic made it popular.

    Show this post to your boss so he knows you are struggling and ask for emotional damage payouts.
