    @theKarlisK That sucks. They could at least have some sort of general rule. If I knew it would be off at 2:00 I would structure my time around that. Like Valve always does maintenance at 17:00 PST on Tuesday’s. I can easily remember that and it’s not a big deal.

    Seems like an industry standard. Happened fraudulently at that time for my latest 3 ISP's.

    I don't know if this is a maintenance thing. I can only talk for germany, where ISPs are forcing you to reconnect every 24 hours. On some routers you are able to delay this forced reconnect, like in my case to 3-4 am
