Power and weather behind internet outages in Mount Vernon
Con Edison customers averaged 28 minutes without power in 2024, across 0.13 interruptions each, against 220 minutes for New York 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 Mount Vernon power outages when both go out together.
Westchester County logged 278 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, flash flood, and hail. Reports peak in July. Power outages were named in 6 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 90.3% of Mount Vernon homes, cable 95.6% and copper lines 0%. 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.
