Michael Hopcroft Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 For a moment, I was thinking the World Cyberwar had begun in earnest, because that would foul up your Internet and everyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjack Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I knew not to trust this stuff, that’s why I do things like buying books, even when my niece keeps after me to use Kindle and online sources for reading new novels. And I still have all my cassette tapes and CD’s to listen to and I know what radio stations play the music I like. I dont even like trusting in the electricity staying on....even though without it my oxygen machine stops working. Then it gets a little like the old comedy bit about Noah, “How long can you tread water?...Bah-ha-ha-ha-ha.” (I have oxygen tanks for emergencies.) 1 hour ago, Cygnia said: Because for the past day, it's been dropping every 5 minutes.

Grailknight Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Having my books on Kindle stored on my laptop has seen me through several days of crashed internet after hurricanes and tropical storms. If you're really desperate, old style rabbit ear antennas do work rather well with digital tv's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I recently switched to AT&T fiber. Cox was just too fickle and working from home I need it to be reliable. Surprisingly, it's actually cheaper, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Cygnia, is it possible that the Russians think you are in the Ukraine? This sounds like what's happening to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted February 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Yeah, but no one else in our area is getting hit by this! I highly doubt a sunspot/solar flare is specifically out to get me... T- 45 minutes 'til the techie comes...in theory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 They can be if you pay them enough but getting them the payment is always the issue. Mind you the solar flare might be going after someone else and your getting part of the effect. Let us know when things 'return to normal'.

I'm relieved it was something that could be solved with a simple equipment swap. That happens to me all the time (or, at the very least, once every couple of years).
