Power and weather behind internet outages in Little Rock
Entergy Arkansas customers averaged 370 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.81 interruptions each, against 509 minutes for Arkansas 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 Little Rock power outages when both go out together.
Pulaski County logged 505 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, flash flood, and hail. Reports peak in April. Power outages were named in 21 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 56.3% of Little Rock homes, cable 97.4% and copper lines 44.3%. Where fiber runs to the home, a red or blinking LOS light on the optical terminal points to a line problem that a restart will not fix.
