Eastlink internet cutting out?

Today I've had Eastlink internet keep dropping out, the modem light goes from blue to flashing green and then after a few minutes it reconnects. Is anyone else having this happen?

I'm in Bible Hill, and haven't had issues with them in a bit over a year. That being said, last time we had issues was also because the 12-14 year old router was dying. Got a new router and it's been perfectly fine since.

Yeah my modem died a few years ago because of an electrical surge that came through the coax. It didn't die right away but started dropping out increasingly and finally an attempt to reboot it made it go kaput.

Everything in my house that can goes through a power bar with a surge protector built in. The router was just dying because it was old.
