did the 30 second unplug, power and cable and it didnt work. so i had to do the longer one involving the reset button and it finally connected.

I honestly thought i was going nuts for a second... until i looked on facebook.

Power station is just behind the KFC.

Fraserview Golf course area had no power as well internet was gone for a good 5 mins

Lomac 12-03-2012 10:10 PM
Yup, a power surge is usually indicative of a failure somewhere else on the grid, either a transformer blowing up, power line pole being hit, or a substation somewhere going offline.

More of you guys need battery backup systems for your computers :p
