No, unless there is something I don't know about.

Ok. Lets start with the basics.

- What is connected to the switch in your room?
- what is connected to the switch in your home?
- what is connected to the gateway down the street?
- how do you connect your room, to your home, to the house three homes away?

This new information makes it more believable that there is some sort of
cabling mishap.
