⚠️ 45 Networks will be doing some maintenance on our Rossburn Elevator site tomorrow morning between 5:30am and 8:00am. During this time there will be multiple short outages. Details are as follows:

Date: Tuesday April 21 2026
Maintenance window: 5:30-8:00 CDT
Number of outages: multiple
Individual outage duration: 2 to 5 minutes each
Service areas affected: Rossburn, Rossman Lake, Vista, Oakburn, Angusville, Waywayseecappo

We have planned this to cause minimal disruption to your home and business internet use. This maintenance is the first step in deploying hardware upgrades that will increase our network capacity and allow us to offer significantly faster Internet speeds in and around Rossburn. By moving eligible customers to this new hardware, capacity will be freed up on our existing systems, creating a better user experience for all customers.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

***HOME NETWORK SECURITY NOTICE***

Do you use an Android box for streaming TV? You may want to give this article a read. Android is used for commodity boxes and smart devices because it's cheap and easily modified; it also can be full of security holes if it's not regularly patched and updated.

The main symptom is an extremely high amount of upload traffic, which can saturate a customer connection, making your other devices think they don't have Internet access.
