Power and weather behind internet outages in Sandy Springs
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 Sandy Springs 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 57% of Sandy Springs homes, cable 92.6% and copper lines 70.6%. 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.
