      1. Check Service Status:

        • Visit our service status page here to see if there are any known issues with our network.

      2. Check Your Devices:

        • Is the internet not working on all devices or just one?
        • If it's just one device, turn it off and on. If it still doesn't work, contact the device manufacturer for help.

      3. Check Your Router or Modem:

        • Make sure the power light is on.
        • Check if the Wi-Fi light is on.
        • Check if the internet light is on. If it's off, or red/orange, there might be a problem.

      4. Restart Your Router or Modem:

        • Unplug the router or modem from the power for 2 minutes, then plug it back in.

      5. Check the Internet Cable:

        • Disconnect the cable from both the router and the wall socket, ensuring a secure connection. If the issue persists, try using a different cable by swapping them to see if that resolves the problem.

      6. Reset Your Router (if needed):
