My Service is Down!
In an ideal world, broadband
service would never fail. The reality is that these are
physical connections, which fall prey to any number of human, animal, and
environmental factors. Speakeasy will provide professional assistance on all service
outages, but there are steps you can take before contacting us that will aid in speedy
resolution of this problem. Please keep in mind that this document and Speakeasy
technicians will not ask you to do anything irrelevant to resolving the problem. Much as
doctors trying to resolve a health ailment, we only ask the questions necessary to get
everything working again.
Step 1: Reboot both your computer and your DSL modem
