Fiber networks in Idaho Falls
Besides the statewide providers, Idaho Falls has fiber service that most cities do not:
- Idaho Falls Fiber. Idaho Falls Fiber is an open-access network owned by the city's utility, Idaho Falls Power; several private ISPs sell service over it.
A fiber network runs on separate lines, so an outage on one provider in Idaho Falls does not mean the others are down.
Power and weather behind internet outages in Idaho Falls
Idaho Falls Power customers averaged 72 minutes without power in 2024, across 0.65 interruptions each, against 233 minutes for Idaho 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 Idaho Falls power outages when both go out together.
Bonneville County logged 128 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, hail, and flood. Reports peak in July. Power outages were named in 11 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 34.6% of Idaho Falls homes, cable 97.4% and copper lines 68.3%. 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.
