Ever Experienced "Brownout"!

You must have heard about Blackouts (when power goes off and the night
surrounds you suddenly for long periods!) and have experienced it
whenever there is a grid failure in your neighborhood. However, going
Brownout is something different. This term is related to Internet.
Going Brownout means your internet-connected system goes offline for
several minutes before getting connected to the Net again.
Nevertheless, why like that? Congestion is the answer.

Yes, the number of internet users has grown rapidly so far. People
have found the advantages of using Net and they started developing new
interest in it. Even recession failed to grab Net away from users.
Instead, most of the new users joined the internet bandwagon during
this recession period. Because the demand and supply of bandwidth are
not growing proportionally, it is predicted that Brownouts will start
happening in the nearby future.

Therefore, use Net judiciously!
