How much of that is in your control to diagnose, let alone fix? If the neighbours are out too, that means it's already out of your hands.

When it comes to "the internet is down", much of the time it is something within your control, whether or not you know that. It's not a very good analogy imo.

    This really isn’t true anymore. Most people use all-in-one modem+router+AP. I’d guess that unless you’re one to tinker with your router, there’s a much better chance you’ve tripped a breaker or GFCI than there is that you’ve somehow broken your home wifi.
