Finally came back about an hour ago. Pesky technological defectivenesses.
I rebooted the computer, tried another SIM in the MiFi, tried disconnecting and reconnecting the WiFi USB dongle, tried the laptop, before finally concluding it was the network, so I rang Talkmobile only to find that their phone lines were down. I do tend to take the internet for granted for everything from grocery shopping to banking. Unlike a power cut, you can't just switch over to the UIPS and light some candles, there's no workaround for no internet.
