Water main is broken on Hillside Dr. God knows when they'll have it back on. Hopefully soon.

So what causes Frontier internet along with other phone and internet services around town including police and school communication lines to go down at the same time?

I called Frontier at 3pm. It took me an hour to get somebody on the line. They then said they think it was an outage but not sure. My internet comes back on immediately. I tell the support person. He says it may go out again but he can't tell me why. I had to talk to somebody at work so I immediately get a conference going. Five minutes in, it dies again. I get the first message from Frontier about 2 hours later saying we may experience an outage and they are working on it. It came back around 7pm.

I blame Chinese hackers.

A Facebook Reel told me so.

Frontier did get hacked a few years ago. So that isn't far fetched... its not if, but when.

If water and Frontier impacted... Bob the Builder could have dug up without marking the area and cut fiber/water.


Happens all the time and a major pain point for IT folks nation wide.

My organization once had an impact for hours due to apparently a lawn mower cutting fiber (I guess they didn't bury it).

all I can do is shake my head at stupidity.

That's not what happened here. Good grief.

Thoughts and prayers for your neck.

We seem to have an astounding amount of stupidity in the world today.
