The Cellar was unavailable from 10:50 pm EST to about 1:15 pm EST today.

The problem was that the internet provider's router was unable to work with the switch that I drove down there last week, replacing the identical switch that their router was unable to work with.

Apparently their support does not operate after-hours.

The replacement of the replacement switch is from a different vendor, and so it is hoped that this is the last of our switch-router interoperability woes. It is certainly the last time I have to prove that if there is a problem it is not on my end. The next outage, if there is one, is all on them and will not require me to drive hours and hours to solve.
