Don't you just hate when the Internet goes down?
I know that I do, one hundred percent. My computer says it's connected to WiFi but there is no Internet. The Internet company says there is an outage affecting my address. When is it expected to be fixed? Not for over 3 hours! Wish it could have waited that long before going down!! Ugh.
Least I have phone data to be able to at least post this.
Wanted to post a weekend update, but this is all I can really do for now.
Update 1: still is down an hour later. I'll check back in later
Last update: Internet finally working, hour and 15 minutes after going down.

I only have phone internet and in the last few years I think it has only gone down on me once when the provider was doing maintenance. So I can't really say I have been left with no I ternet for long at all
As least it was not off for too long.

An hour and 15 minutes was long enough lol

@Ineeddentures I wanted to pull mine out after only 10 minutes lol
That's a bummer you couldn't. I went to one of those today too.

Oh it's too long lol
If I had any hair I would be tearing it out after that amount of time.
Today I couldn't get online in a McDonald's and that was bad enough.

Oh, Gheez, you too? Another member just had this happen. And, you know, things happen in threes. I hope I'm not #3.
I hope it is up and running by now.

It was after an hour and 15 minutes of being down. And I didn't know that another member had an issue too. I hear that they do, but never seen that be the case

@MommyOfEli2013 I'm thankful for it at least. I'm glad that at least things are working okay. Last time it happened, the downtime resolved on its own before my husband wanted to watch t.v. thankfully.

Same here, used to happen a lot with our old internet company. This company it's happened a lot less, but still frustrating - especially with the price we pay. Sorry it's happened to you too.

It's so annoying when I plan on doing multiple things online; and the internet is down. I'm glad yours is finally working.

@MommyOfEli2013 That's good to hear. Hopefully it won't go down again soon.

I clearly remember life before internet. I certainly read actual books a lot more!
Hopefully, this won’t be a problem for you much longer.@MommyOfEli2013 (85056)

Well can't do much without it these days. I don't remember life before it lol. What are books? Lol, jk!
Sadly it's been down for almost an hour now. Could use my mobile data to watch YouTube like I was, but don't want to run out of data doing that either

I was glad it just wasn't out the full 3+ hours. 1 hour and 15 mins was long enough
