A blinking or off broadband/internet light on your modem typically signifies that it's not establishing a stable connection with your ISP's network. This could be due to a physical line issue, a problem at the ISP's end, or a fault with the modem itself. Check cable connections and contact your ISP if the light remains off or blinks erratically.
