All Internet service in Bluffton will be turned off on Easter Sunday as a precaution against potential wireless router damage. The blackout will occur from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m, Sunday, April 4, according to officials who have planned the event.

When no Internet service available, some Internet addicts will search for hot spots in the village that may be high enough on ground to pick up signals, although it is doubtful that many areas will be discovered.

There are several reasons that the entire village will be "blacked out." Apparently the major reason is that the sun spot count on April 4 is at a 10-year high of 9.34. The count could cause havoc to local Internet routers that aren't coded 4-1-2010. Persons may check their router code on the bottom of the box.
