Oh dear, Received a call today from my neighbour
"is your internet on?" he asked, (we split the bill)
"errr, not sure I replied i'm not at home, I will check and let you know"
So I get home, check super hub
Put head behind tv where it is situated and hear Fizzzzzzz Fizzzzzzz
OH DEAR!
Take it out and find water all over it
I then realise during the storm we had water had forced its way through window frame via the aerial cable which was above modem, and dropped onto modem power point
ARRRGGGHHHHHHH
Cut a long story short I had to completely strip the modem (naughty, naughty) and get my heat gun on points, to dry, clean and resolder and check all terminals
All working now
However i'm not sure if Richard Branson will be happy that I opened up the hub
But I am working away all next week starting 8pm Sunday evening so no chance of sorting it out. The internet is needed as we all know for the crunching. Cést La Vie
