NET EXPERTS UNITE.
14 years ago
Okay I'm at my wits end, and I need aid in figuring out what the hell is going on. Let me start from the beginning:
Net was disconnected due to delinquent payment on bill.
I called and asked for an extension and they agreed to reopen my net connection until tuesday, when I can pay it off.
Ever since then my net periodically drops for about 30 secs to a minute. I called verizon multiple times since then and they opened a trouble ticket to figure out what was wrong. They made me run through the whole gauntlet of tests on my end such as checking the phone chords, etc. They also tested the connection on their end and each time came up perfect except for one 'bad signal' moment. So they attempted to 'repair' it over the next 24 hours or so.
Next day or two later it still happens.. not sure what's going on. I find it funny that it happened JUST as they re-established my net connection.. it HAS to be their fault... right?
(Update) I did something I prolly shoulda done the night they re-opened the connection, unplugging all the wires and waiting a bit, then connecting them back into the modem. Now to sit and wait..)

If you have not checked up on the news Verizon is going through labor disputs with its employees. Employees have been on strike as of late. the strike effected the maint dept and other aspects of the company. Your net drops because of increased traffic on certain nodes and cables due to equipment that would otherwise be functional if the maintenance crew was available to work on it. sorry you had to be on the ass end of this buddy :O
