Q3. My internet service stopped working while I was using it. What should I do? |

A. If your internet
service stops while you’re using it and it doesn’t come back on, there could be
several explanations. If you are using a
router, and you have a P2P Filesharing (music downloading) program or another
application that utilizes a large amount of bandwidth, it could be locking up
your equipment. Some routers do not
handle large amounts of traffic well and will stop functioning when exposed to
these conditions. Cycling the power to
the device can be a temporary fix. If
you suspect this is the problem, try eliminating the router for a while and if
the problem doesn’t reappear, we recommend purchasing a higher grade router.
