Why Do Charter Communications Outages Happen?

When your cell or internet service disconnects, it doesn't always mean that there is an ISP fault. The issue can be due to an existing outage in the area. If the status center page shows that there is an outage in your area, then the likely causes are:

• Issues with charter communications internet infrastructure
• Network overload more so WiFi, if you are in a crowded area, concert, stadium or street
• You are connecting to a bad hotspot

Sometimes, your disconnection is because of specific issues with the connection, and has nothing to do with an outage. For example, you have a defective cable to the router or modem. The problem can also be an insufficient WiFi hotspot strength. In some areas, you may experience wireless interference with nearby devices.

The customer support may ask you to check if your network adapter driver is updated or you are running an outdated firmware. It's always good troubleshoot your connection.
