As title.

Woke up this morning to see our 2Wire 2700 flashing a single green "Internet" light, like it was trying to sync with the exchange. Phoned UKonline and asked them if there was any service issues in the area, to which they replied "no". Tried my backup DG834 and it synced straight away.

The wife works in a building next to the exchange and kindly informed me that lightning had struck the building the night before, so between that and the constant thunderstorms last night it looks like the modem finally gave up the ghost :(

Sorry.. bit of a rant, but what's the solution for the future.. surge protector?
