Home 5G and fixed-wireless plans from T-Mobile Home Internet (82%) and Verizon (81%) report coverage of Roswell homes (Verizon’s figure combines Fios fiber and 5G Home). They run over cell towers rather than cable or fiber, so they can work when a wired network is down. Cell coverage by area is 100% for 4G LTE and 94.7% for 5G.

Power and weather behind internet outages in Roswell
Georgia Power customers averaged 1,516 minutes without power in 2024, across 2.07 interruptions each, against 1,229 minutes for Georgia 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 Roswell power outages when both go out together.
Fulton County logged 288 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, flash flood, and hail. Reports peak in June. Power outages were named in 9 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 62% of Roswell homes, cable 98.3% and copper lines 76.3%. 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.
