Ugh... My internet was down last week, but only for 5 hours, thank goodness. My ISP was undergoing maintenance at the time :/

Fibre connections are more reliable because less can go wrong, but I'd say ISP reliability has a much higher impact.

Whoa that's pretty bad I'm sorry to hear this Sadist

Shouldn't ISPs have a backup-line so they still can provide access while they are on maintenance? >.<

Well in my case it wasn't hershey kisses Hihi

But yeah having no internet in the middle of the night is just bad, especially with all these night TVs shows that are totally random and unfunny :/

Yeah I know and that's exactly what I feared... plus I'm not too happy about having a static IP then because I already had cases where I was IP blocked on forums I never even visited before though a router reset to a new IP always helped o.o

Whoa okay that's odd Noway

Do you run everything through DHCP though? I ask because a friend of mine had a similar problem where the DHCP system of the router simply failed after a while and wouldn't restart again unless you rebooted the whole router like you have to do :/

If you have a static IP, it's unlikely that your IP will be used by someone else to get blocked. If they blocked a range, well a dynamic IP probably won't help you.

I've found that IP blocking to be inaffective most of the time, so whoever did the ban is probably a rookie. But you can always use Tor to mask your IP.

Whoa Zinga... you just showed me a glaring flaw in my logic... if only I have the IP nobody else can mess with it... oh god was I dumb Hihi

Oh well I still wouldn't feel too great about having a static IP for whenever I use _that_ EP thing in the forum nobody knows >.> I mean I know my ISP knows either way but a static IP feels so "IT'S YOU!!!" ^.^;;
