Helen Marie Plourde, an 86-year-old Minnesota resident, just spent over a month without home Internet and phone service because CenturyLink failed to fix a problem that began in July.

Even if she DOES have a cell phone. I spent 6 years in the mobile industry. Trust me when I say for some older people, both is necessary 😅
