Bad internet connections?

Answer:

DEADLINKS

Hint:

Think of what happens when a webpage fails to load—these are the broken paths that lead nowhere online.

Explanation:

"Bad internet connections?" plays on the idea of links that no longer work—commonly called "dead links." The word "bad" hints at something broken or nonfunctional, while "connections" refers to hyperlinks on the web. Combining these gives "DEADLINKS," a straightforward term for links that lead nowhere. The clue cleverly uses everyday frustration with tech to lead to the answer.
