Power and weather behind internet outages in Broken Arrow
Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) customers averaged 188 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.55 interruptions each, against 271 minutes for Oklahoma 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 Broken Arrow power outages when both go out together.
Tulsa County logged 850 storm reports since 2015, most often hail, thunderstorm wind, and flash flood. Reports peak in May. Power outages were named in 5 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 76.7% of Broken Arrow homes, cable 67.5% and copper lines 34.5%. 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.
