Think I'm over connected

My ATT gateway went down yesterday. All the people in India could say is they'll send me a new one. I actually could hear chickens in the back ground. lol

So I was completely screwed up today. My house phone is a VOIP, so no phone. I use Alexa to control almost all my lights, use Harmony for my TV, Wemo switches, my AC Thermostat. Always read my new online. I don't use my cell phone for anything other than a phone when I'm away from home. So I'm cell phone illiterate. Tried to setup a hot spot from my phone but my plan doesn't provide that. It was a strange day.

Then this afternoon my internet started working. lol It's been a real eye opener. I need an emergency internet plan, wound if there is such a thing.
