How often does your internet connection go out?


Prior to moving into this place, all 3 others where I lived it went down rarely. Maybe once a year, but only if some big event took it down. Wind, fire, etc.

Maybe 4 times a year I had to reboot the modem and/or router.

This is what I consider normal.

Here it's been a nightmare. Not great to begin with, but it's turned into a nightmare, being out for half a day, a day, two days. I got really tired of calling the local provider, and my landlords (who owns the account -- Wifi was included in my rent) couldn't be arsed to get it fixed.

Now I'm curious what's normal for everyone else.

Every 2-3 days for a few minutes. No major downtime recently that I can remember.

That's not terrible, but not good either. Is your service interrupted?

Mine does this often throughout the day, but if I'm streaming something, I don't usually notice. Trying to get to a web site or read/delete email, it'll lag until it's back up again.

reply

Yeah. I'll get "website can't be found" then a message from my router for a few minutes until it's back up.

Very annoying.

Side note: They should come up with a better message than that. Like "I don't think we're online anymore, Toto."

lol, agreed.
