Does the Modem have logs facility and is the facility enabled etc. An example would be the "beep" codes you get from laptops/PC's indicating and identifying a particular problem. Modems do this with how the lights flash, what colors flash and in what order. Hope this helps mate

From experience, the power light should stay constant. The ethernet will blink as per traffic. The DSL light would indicate that you've internet via cable (Maybe telephone line).
Here's what i would do. Pull the modem and try it at a friends house with their log in credentials. If it works, the DSL (copper cable) got fried during the storm. If it doesn't work then the Modem, and probably the copper cable are FUBAR. If the former is true. Buy a new Modem and also invest in a surge protector. http://www.apc.com/resource/include/tech...b=features

Inform your ISP about the DSL issue and ask for protection (fibre) if possible. Tell them that your downtime has cost you money
