The different usage of HAS and IS

Dear EnglishForward,

So my Internet down yesterday, and today I got it fixed. Should I say
* My Internet has back
or
* My Internet is back

And how do you differentiate the usage of HAS and IS?
Thanks again.

So, say if you're going to use HAS as the word in the sentence, how should I write it?
*My Internet has come back
or
*My Internet has came back?

I'm quite confuse with the IS/HAS things... Thanks again.

Using 'have' as an auxiliary verb, 'has come back'.
