Power and weather behind internet outages in Stockton
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) customers averaged 509 minutes without power in 2024, across 2.15 interruptions each, against 280 minutes for California 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 Stockton power outages when both go out together.
San Joaquin County logged 66 storm reports since 2015, most often flood and heavy rain. Reports peak in January. Power outages were named in 22 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 28.6% of Stockton homes, cable 98.9% and copper lines 63.8%. 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.
