I am assuming it's DSL...look at the lights on the DSL modem. You should see - Power, Internet, ethernet and maybe wireless. If you don't have Internet. It's prob just locked up fm the lighting storm just take the power off the modem (unplug fm the back) for 20 sec or more and then plug it back in. Sometimes it takes more than once. If that doesn't work give me more info and we'll go fm there.
Congrats on the year BTW

Yeah, I tried all that usual stuff, didn't work. Wife called Qwest and they told her they had an outage from the storm and about 10,000 were out of service. How come the phone still works though?
I like Qwest's services. The internet is plenty fast enough and the best part is only having one box for everything. I wish the guy that hooked it up would hav done it different though. My house has all the structural wiring with CAT5 and 6 cabling, but he put the main box on my entertainment center instead of in the box where everything is routed through. By doing that, it used up the network connection and the telephone line there, so I have to use a wireless connection for my TIVO box. That makes TIVO transfers much slower. The guy didn't really seem to know much about the system and the install took about 4 hours, and at that he had to call someone else out to finish the job because he souldn't get anything to work.
Oh well, I just want my internet and TV back, the reception fo Verizon is slow at my house.
Carbon Monoxide poisoning kills boaters. Â Take the time to learn about it and how to avoid it.

Same here. Phone, TV and internet A-O-K. Matter fact I was surfing when the power went out. If my power back up had not failed I would have continued to surf while the power was out.

Do you have a satellite rec and a DSL modem (or is it VDSL)? We don't have VDSL down here. As far the telephone and TV working while the internet won't...without knowning what equip you are on, I would say the DSL unit in the field either locked up and needs reset or had a card get smoked and needs replacing. If they had and outage affecting multiple customers the reponse should be pretty quick. If multi. phones were out it would be quicker cuz of 911.

Speeds are usually pretty good, 1316 Kbps right now, which is fast enough for me. I don't really appreciate it until I get stuck trying to do something on the laptop which runs about 600 to 700. |
I am familiar with all the services and how we produce them but I am not familiar with that particular equip. type.

Watch out, we norm. try and use homeruns for the dsl ckts. If I had somebody I trusted up there I'd give them a call and ask them to go check it out. I don't know to many of the res. install folks any more and none in Phx.

Fm the side of your house (pwr box) that is the DMARC which is the legal exchange fm us to you. At this point your IW (inside wire) goes into your house. Some of this inside wire is wired in series or it could be a homerun or point to point. If you have a wire and bridge on to it, it will degrade the signal to noise and therefore reduce your data transfer speed or it will not be able to comm. at all.
