Live in north bryan near the dps office. Anyone in my area getting daily to hourly outtages?

Have had three seperate outages today.

If I call suddenlink, they always say everything is ok on their end.. so I dont know if it's my modem, or their hub, or my neighbors or what..

And I have no idea when that new company is supposed to get here in my area, so...

There's a hefty geomagnetic storm today, so perhaps that's part of the issue.

I was, once again, on the phone with sudden link... for 30 minutes.... And of course they said there is nothing wrong with my modem, internet, etc...

now if they had just said there is a geomagnetic storm, I would have said.. oh.. that makes sense..

Did you try turning it off for 30 seconds and then turning it back on?

I've been getting outages also.

I also learned last year that if you have a modem with a Puma chip that you may have frequent problems. Since replacing 2 modems in 2 different locations, the frequent outages have ceased.

You can check your modem at badmodems.com

By some miracle a whole bunch of customers keep having the same issues but it's never on their end.

In two locations I've had issues where the techs had to come out over several months. In both cases, the real problem was a bad tap up on the pole. Apparently they really don't like going up there to check because I asked them on each visit to check it and they wouldn't do it. When they finally went up the pole and found the tap was bad and replaced it, my connection became solid and fast.

Suddenlink? What's that? Thank goodness for Frontier fiber optic.
