I've only ever had one other outage besides this one, and that one was a disconnected cable at a fiber hut due to an improper new install. (Some tech unplugged my fiber.)
This one was different. The router still showed I had a connection, but I couldn't ping or tracert 4.4.4.2 or 8.8.8.8, nor www.google.com. Destination unreachable after my local router on the tracert.
Tried my TV, it was still working, but On Demand said "unavailable". So my fiber was still lit.
So I rebooted my router. Voila, I had internet back. But my IP changed from 171.x.x.x to 98.x.x.x. Strange.
I don't get why I had to reboot my router, unless VZ arbitrarily changed something on their end.
