Has not happened since, so it may have been related to weather and lightning in the local region, I probably should retract it. But it appears this time to be related local area issues as others on the node had similar experiences with other providers.
I am so sorry for the issues raised, but sometimes it is not related to the internet service provider, but the type of technology deployed. Maybe this will make just one other person mindful of the some of the external issues that can effect our internet connectivity.
Sorry.
