Do you or have you ever had problems with your internet? Has it ever go down all day and you had to call your provider to see what's going on?
 
Yep just a few months ago we were having issues with our internet. It turns out our modem was old and was just giving out, so our ISP gave us a new one free of charge and we haven't had any issues since. Back in 2009 I had a really cheap ISP that would go out all the time, it was a local business. I remember it's name because it pissed me off so many times. xD It was called Buzz Broadband, and it sucked! I don't even think the company is still around tbh.
 
Off and on. At times I can be online then everything stops and yet seems to be all normal. But after I restart the router I get a red blinking light. The only bad time when I had to move and waiting for a week to get online then it was slow and wasn't that good to start with. About a week it was all good.

Yeah, I had some of the same problems with a local business way back in 2006. I knew one the owners. Him and 2 other guys owned it. Not to mention a lot of his employee's had an attitude problem. Anyone who used their WIFI would get kicked off of their Internet. You couldn't play WoW or Guild Wars for extended periods of time without lagging out. It was terrible. I'm glad they went out of business.
 
My current ISP is pretty good (touch wood) and I never really have any issues with it. Once in a while, it will go down for a few minutes but that's only at around 2-3am so it's not a huge problem.
 
Very rarely we lose internet and when we do, it's not for a long period of time.
 
It's a yearly occurrence with Virgin Media (and even when they were called UPC). Though 1 day a year thankfully isn't the end of the world so I'm happy enough to stay with them.
 
I don't normally have problems with the internet. If I do, I just ask my hubby to help. Because of his degree, I never have to worry about calling IT or anything like that because IT is already living in the house with me.
 
Yes, I've been having issues with my internet lately. I called last week about it, and they adjusted a few things remotely. Now I called yesterday, and a technician will finally be at my house on Monday. I've pretty much told them money is no object. I just want good internet. :p
