Internet, mobile or TV outage: tips and mistakes to avoid

What to do in an internet outage?

  • To do: Check the GeoBlackout map: other reports near you point to a network outage, not your setup.
  • To do: Unplug your modem and router, then plug them back in.
  • To do: Make sure the coax, fiber or phone cable is tight at the wall and on the modem.
  • To do: Test a computer on an Ethernet cable: if it works, the problem is your Wi-Fi, not the line.
  • To do: Contact your provider to ask about troubleshooting tips or an outage in your area.
  • To do: Power out too? You may be able to get online through secure Wi-Fi nearby.
  • To do: Still unresolved? File a complaint with the FCC at consumercomplaints.fcc.gov.
  • Avoid: Don't press the modem's reset button unless support asks: it restores the factory settings.
  • Avoid: Don't count on internet phone service in a power outage without a backup battery.

What to do in a mobile outage?

  • To do: Turn Airplane Mode on for a few seconds, then off, to reconnect to the network.
  • To do: Compare with the phone of someone on another carrier.
  • To do: Check your carrier's outage page or app.
  • To do: Check in your carrier's app that the line is active and data isn't used up.
  • To do: Text rather than call when networks are busy.
  • Avoid: Don't wait for your own network in an emergency: every carrier must connect 911 calls.
  • Avoid: Don't reset network settings at random: it erases saved Wi-Fi networks and passwords.

What to do in a TV outage?

  • To do: Streaming TV runs on your internet connection: check it first.
  • To do: Unplug the TV box for 10 seconds, then plug it back in.
  • To do: Use your provider's system refresh from its app or account page, if it offers one.
  • To do: Using an antenna? Rescan channels from your TV menu.
  • To do: Cable problem your provider won't fix? Contact your local franchising authority, then the FCC.
  • Avoid: Don't unplug or turn off the box during an update or system refresh: let it finish.

Who regulates internet, mobile and TV in the United States?

  • FCC (Federal Communications Commission): regulates interstate phone, wireless, cable and satellite services, collects network outage reports and handles consumer complaints.
  • State public utility commissions: regulate utilities in each state, including local telephone service.
  • NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration): manages federal spectrum and runs the $42.45 billion BEAD broadband program.
  • Local franchising authorities: your city or county regulates local cable TV service and handles cable complaints your provider did not resolve.
