Okay, here is the blog post about the Fidium internet outage, following your detailed instructions:
So, let me tell you about this whole mess with my Fidium internet the other day. It was a real pain in the neck. One minute I was just chilling, browsing the web, and the next, bam! No internet. And let me tell you, when your internet goes down, it feels like the world’s ending, right?
First thing I did was check the modem and router. That’s what everyone says to do. I looked at the lights on my modem, and then I noticed, “Hey, why are these lights not on?” I learned from someone that Fidium Internet has been a bit wonky lately. They said it sometimes takes a whole day to get back online. And the other day, someone mentioned that their Fidium ONT wasn’t reconnecting after a little power hiccup.
So, naturally, I tried the classic fix – the good old “unplug and plug it back in” trick. I unplugged both the modem and the router, waited about 30 seconds, like the internet gurus always tell you. I started with the modem. I plugged it back in and waited for those two little green lights to come on and stay solid. That took a bit, so I just waited patiently.
- Unplugged the modem and router.
- Waited for about 30 seconds.
- Plugged the modem back in first.
- Waited for the power light and service light to turn green and stay steady.
- Fingers crossed!
Then I plugged the router back in. And waited some more. It felt like forever, but it was probably just a few minutes. Finally, I saw the lights flashing. And then, boom! The internet light came on, and I was back online.
Honestly, it was such a relief. I was starting to think I’d have to call customer service, and nobody wants to deal with that, right? But yeah, it all worked out in the end. Just a simple restart was all it took. It seems Fidium has these little outage issues, but at least this time it was a quick fix. If you run into the same problem, try the unplugging trick. Hopefully, you have the same good luck I did.
Sometimes, technology just needs a little nudge to get back on track. And it does feel a bit like magic when it works. I was just happy to be back in the online world, doing my thing.
