We had the same ISP at home for about 16 years. Internet runs over copper cable along with the landline phone service.
On April this year they sent a letter saying they are deprecating copper lines and switching everything to optic fiber, but for some reason our neighborhood is not getting it so they were supposed to terminate the contract and stopping their services on April 2025.
But they did that past Wednesday, all of a sudden, without notifying us whatsoever. They are not answering why are doing this either. On Wednesday I called them to ask what was going on and they told me they were going to reconnect on Thursday morning, but at 4:00 pm it was still the same. Called them again and said they were not reconnecting us because fuck you.
So I can’t visit most of the web right now and I fear I might be booted from the WFH job. The couple of things I use frequently that are still working somehow are Feedly and Lemmy. Tried to switch DNS addresses at the router trying to circumvent this to no avail.
Heading to the nearest library in a couple of hours to talk with my boss.
