Sorry to hear that you're experiencing internet connectivity issues on your Mac with macOS Ventura (also known as "Sequoia"). I'm not aware of any specific, widespread issue that would cause the internet connection to cut off. However, there could be various reasons why this might be happening.
Here are some potential causes and solutions:
1. **Network adapter or Wi-Fi issues**: Try restarting your router, modem, or switching to a different network (if possible). Sometimes, simply restarting these devices can resolve connectivity problems.
2. **Driver updates**: Ensure that your network drivers are up-to-date. You can check for updates in System Preferences > Software Update.
3. **Internet Service Provider (ISP) issues**: If you're experiencing connectivity problems across multiple devices and networks, it might be a problem with your ISP rather than a Mac-specific issue. Try contacting their support team for assistance.
4. **Network congestion or interference**: If you're in a busy environment with many connected devices, this could cause internet slowdowns or disconnections. You can try moving closer to the router or switching to a different network if possible.
5. **System resource conflicts**: macOS Ventura introduced some changes that might affect system resources and impact connectivity. Run a System Report (via Apple Menu > About This Mac) and look for any unusual spikes in resource usage, especially related to your network adapter.
6. **Interference from other software or services**: Some third-party apps or services can interfere with your internet connection. Check the Activity Monitor (in Applications > Utilities) to see if there are any suspicious processes consuming excessive resources.
To better assist you, could you provide more details about your situation? What's happening when your internet connection cuts off? Are you experiencing any error messages, network configuration changes, or other symptoms?
