Internet Outage Overnight - Thankfully It Came Back

 

For many years, I have subscribed to Spectrum and its predecessor, Time-Warner Cable.  Over the years, the service has been excellent.  I receive cable TV, a VOIP phone (it is not a landline phone), and internet.   When I woke up this morning, a light on the internet modem was blinking.  There was no dial tone on the phone.  I checked my email on my cell phone, which stated at 3:44 AM that there was an outage in my area.  At 7:45 AM, the internet came back.  Thankfully, most of the outage came during the overnight hours.

There is an old saying - "you don't miss your water until the well runs dry."  Likewise, we don't realize how dependent we are on the internet until we lose it.
