It was just his building or may be apartment complex. I imagine city wide outages are more severe and likely due to some event like storm etc.

At least in India, the situation is far better now in terms of reliability. My internet goes down maybe once in 5-6 months, and when it does, it's back within 24 hours. Mobile internet is cheap and fast enough (I pay around $7 for 84 GB) that I can use it as backup.

My work is entirely online. I haven't worried about not having internet for a while.
