So I get home, turn on the PC, and no Internet.

My TP Link Archer D5 indicates a PPP server failure. So I call them, and the automated message gives a meaningless outage message. It has been down hours, according to the kids home since 3, and haven't had Internet the whole time. You'd think that in 3+ hours, they'd put up a better message than a generic.

Crossing my fingers it comes back soon.

Any insider with ETA or details? Bad form to pull the plug on the auth server on the way home on a Friday.
