• Unexpected Equipment Failures: Problems with cables, routers, or other equipment can lead to widespread outages.

Troubleshooting Steps (Before You Panic):

Before assuming a wider outage, try these simple troubleshooting steps:

1. Check your modem and router: Make sure they're both plugged in and powered on. Try restarting them by unplugging them for 30 seconds, then plugging them back in.
2. Check your cables: Ensure all cables are securely connected to your modem and router. Look for any visible damage.
3. Check other devices: See if other devices in your home are experiencing the same issue. This helps determine if the problem is with your internet connection or your individual device.
4. Check your account: Log in to your Spectrum account online to make sure there are no issues with your billing or service status.

What to do if the outage persists:

If you've tried troubleshooting and the outage continues, here's what to do:

• Stay informed: Continue checking the sources mentioned above for updates on the outage.
• Contact Spectrum: Report the outage to Spectrum's customer service. Be prepared to provide your account information and address.
• Find alternative internet access: If you need internet access urgently, consider using a mobile hotspot or visiting a location with Wi-Fi.
