Power and weather behind internet outages in Springfield
City Utilities of Springfield customers averaged 65 minutes without power in 2024, across 1 interruptions each, against 224 minutes for Missouri 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 Springfield power outages when both go out together.
Greene County logged 922 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, flash flood, and hail. Reports peak in May. Power outages were named in 18 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 78% of Springfield homes, cable 99.1% and copper lines 69.6%. 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.
