Outage has been in affect since 9/3

There is a “nearby outage reported” that has been in effect for over a month. We have a half dozen internet drops a day, which is directly affecting my livelihood since I work from home. (“Get your internet figured out or we might need to find someone else to fill your position”). Connecting with an agent via chat is disallowed because of this “nearby outage” and the only way we can get someone on the phone is if we call as a new customer. We’ve had 2 tech visits scheduled but arbitrarily canceled with no explanation. We are paying full price for horrible internet, and even worse customer service. There are literally no other ISP options available. 

We are considering moving homes so I can continue to do my job, because no other help has been offered. I’m becoming convinced that the “nearby outage” exists only so no one has to actually help.
