Power and weather behind internet outages in Montgomery
Alabama Power customers averaged 334 minutes without power in 2024, across 2.04 interruptions each, against 279 minutes for Alabama as a whole. Cable nodes and fiber cabinets run on batteries that last hours, not days, so a long power cut can take internet down even for homes whose own power has returned. See Montgomery power outages when both go out together.
Montgomery County logged 105 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, tornado, and flash flood. Reports peak in June. Power outages were named in 3 of those storm episodes. Wind, ice and flooding damage poles and buried lines, which is how a storm turns into an internet outage as well as a power outage.
Fiber reports reach 49.1% of Montgomery homes, cable 86.4% and copper lines 38.5%. Cable is the main wired technology here. One neighborhood node feeds many homes, so a node fault usually shows up as a whole street offline at once.
