Down again! Our internet connection went down around 6 PM last night. So no internet activity for me. My brother's internet provider went down as well so no back up for me. Checked the community page and learned that there was an issue Village-wide. Not only the two internet providers were down but also the others. When I woke up today, my router is still blinking red. Not yet fixed. I tried my phone internet, but it cannot load my work's tools and apps. I decided to look for a not so expensive cafe for wifi. Found one, so I worked in the cafe with free wifi. The co-working space I rented last year was closed during weekends. I called the provider last night and was told that there was an issue. The posts from the people showed an electric post caught on fire. After work, I went to the provider's office which is near the cafe. I was told by the rep that there was a burnt wiring because of the fire. They are now restoring the service by replacing the wires.

huh?!?! what a coincidence that most of the ISP are down simultaneously. Never heard of it happening at the same time

the post caught on fire and the wires/cables of different ISP were affected.

At least they have a real reason for the internet to be down. I hope they get the wiring replaced quickly. Good luck!
