RE: Intermittent internet service. Have you been experiencing this too lately?

in #internet7 years ago (edited)

I experience it too, but I live in a different part of the world, where the weather is far from having any storms or lightnings right now, and in my country the internet providers, like most people are subpar, and provide no service for the cash they get.
So you may be suffering from the results of the weather, and I suffer from the results of internet providers that supplied me with both a deffected router for the 3rd straight time, and 4th not straight time, and subpar experience as always.

Yes, out internet provider, the only one in this rural area, is not the best. We used to have outages all the time and spend hours on the phone troubleshooting until they would send another modem. Finally we talked to a helpful person who said You know you can but your own modem.
We did and have not had any problems for almost a year until this storm.
Today is sunny and the internet has been up all day.

I have to think it's related to the weather and it seems it may be where the connection comes into the house. Of course that wiring may be defective because of mice who may have moved in the box and are eating the wiring.
