Asking for help
I setup internet service for my mother 3 days ago. The speed was good and service was nice. Starting yesterday morning around 10 am, interruption occurred and estimated fixing time was 5 hours. Around 1:30 pm, we got message saying that the service was resumed. However yellow lights were still blinking. Calling tech and was told the outage happened again after it was just fixed. Then another 5 hour, got a message, service was resumed, but still not working. Called tech, same story, outage happened again. After 24 hours, the story is still the same, However the estimated waiting time is 24 hours!
if the service would be truly resumed, the outage would last 48 hours. My mother need the WiFi to monitor her heart condition, she really need the service for her medical needs. She can’t afford to have no service for 2 days.
Can management help out in this situation?

@user_005jvs We are here to help you and your Mother. I also have parents that have health concerns so I would be reaching out if I were in your shoes too. Our team is a dedicated team that will investigate the connection. One thing I do want to make clear is our service is intended for entertainment purposes so for something like a heart monitor it would be best to look into a utility company for a connection. This is what my father had to do as he has a pacemaker. That being said please feel free to send us your full name and the complete address in a direct message. Here are the steps for contacting us:
