    Social media is a prime repository whereby to find some of the world's great images of cable broadband failure -- we mean specifically, in photos submitted to Reddit's 'Cablefail' and 'Cablegore' user sub-communities.

    Charting cause-and-effect for some of these scenarios almost seems like a lost cause -- you kind of just have to gawp at them. Enjoy if you can!
