Lightning + Cables = No Internet

Post by King_Nothing »

There was a storm here in Winnipeg today that appeared to knock only my internet service out today, I called my ISP and they ran a querey on other customers on my block and they are all working fine. Lightning did either hit my powerpole or my house, as there was a huge crash and flash at the exact same time. I tried everything else that I would normally do when my modem crashed, but no dice. I have to wait til Sunday afternoon for a repair guy to come out. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

So if Im not around for a bit, that is the reason why. Thankfully I can use it here at work when no one is around :P

You must have Shaw Internet there.....that's what I got and it's gets strange during severe weather. Luckily I've never had anything blow up.

Bang on the head man, Shaw it is, and im getting the 3 green 1 red as well.
Im just suprised this time it is not due to bandwidth abuse like it has been in the past :P

Thats crazy man, I did not hear of the tornado, but it was damn windy yesterday and the storm was pretty vicious. I also have had Shaw d/c my internet for bandwidth abuse hahaha, this time it was not the case, I called Shaw when I returned from work lastnight and they said other ppl in my area reported the same shit, so know I know I was not the only one atleast hahah, but I was when I called to first report it, I guess when more ppl returned home from work they realized it as well. So only 2 more days to go w/o it hahah. Give my bandwidth a break in the meantime :P
