Abstract
Methods and systems for remediation of jammed networks are provided. Exemplary methods include determining by a base unit of a jammed network and if outside connectivity available. The connectivity can include wired and wireless broadband networks. If connectivity is available, at least one external service is notified. Further, a user device can be notified. A local alert can be generated in the form of a phone call or test message. Also, a local action can be taken. Information associated with the jammed network is stored for later delivery if connectivity is not available where the base unit is located in a residence. Further, an alert can be issued in response to the detected network jamming, the alert being at least one of: sounding an audible alarm, showing a visual alarm indication, communicating with law enforcement, and communicating with an alarm monitoring station.
