My internet has been down for almost 24 hours, and I'm not sure why.

So, I've had Directv for almost a full billing month now, and I've had two issues where my internet has just gone down without any warning so far.

-The first was relatively short, I came home from work after 3:30PM on a Tuesday, and my internet was off. Made a few calls, and it was on the same day towards the evening hours. (11-12PM I believe.)

The second, and current issue I'm experiencing has been going on since around 6PM Wednesday, and it's currently 1:20 PM on THURSDAY. Still no internet. I've tried the whole 'unplug for a while and replug it' thing multiple times to no avail. I also can't call Directv because of some "routine maintenance" they're undergoing. I've tried to call them again, but I get the same response. It's extremely frustrating, especially since my life practically revolves around the internet, and now everything has come to a screeching halt. 

I'm not sure if there is something I can do on my end, or am I just outta luck until this "maintenance" is over with?
