My FIOS connection has started cutting out

LauraS1

It started tonight and it's cut out for a few moments for three or four times now.

It always reconnects.

What's going on?

The problem could be anywhere. It could be with the Coax connecting to your router, the ONT, the Fiber back to the local PON Splitter, the fiber going back to the CO, a problem in the CO itself, or perhaps a problem more widespread higher up the stream.

If you have Voice and TV service from Verizon, are those services affected around the same time as the Internet dropping out? Affected services would include choppy/poor voice quality on the phone, and TV would have pixelation. Also, have you tried rebooting your ONT? This can be done by unplugging the AC adapter for the ONT from the wall jack, then disconnecting the battery, waiting a few minutes and then reconnecting the equipment in the reverse order (battery, then AC adapter).

Are you on the east coast where it is raining like there's no tomorrow since Monday? The powers to my home has been cutting out once in a while for a few seconds at a time.

LauraS1

Yes, I'm on the east coast but local rain is not nearly as bad as when Tropical Storm Irene hit us last week.

Do you think the problem is further along the line where it's pouring?

Awesome! Great news.

Smith6612,

We don't have FIOS tv and I wasn't fast enough to check the phones .

It seems to have cleared itself up but I'll cut and paste your reply to WordPad and print it out and keep it with my FIOS stuff.

Thank you so much.

We switched the bedroom TV to WiFi. This was the TV that kept freezing.

Works fabulous.

Also he cut 25 feet off the coax from the wall box.

The WiFi fix wont work on the main box/main TV but I think just cutting all that footage out for the coax couldn't hurt. Also, there was a old splitter which I think he got rid of after going from the box up...cutting back on all the web of cables.
