Lumos Networks is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach lumosnetworks.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection

While Lumos Networks is down: what to use instead
- Mobile hotspot A phone hotspot gets a laptop or tablet online when the home connection drops and you need to finish a task.
- Cellular data Switch email and browser work to your phone's data plan if the home connection fails; it covers the basics without a router.
- Public library Wi-Fi A library network suits a longer work session when you need more than a phone screen can handle.
- Mobile phone calls Use your mobile phone for calls if voice service runs over the same connection that failed.

How we track Lumos Networks
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Lumos Networks, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Lumos Networks, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Lumos Networks doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
