Backup internet options in Gresham

Home 5G and fixed-wireless plans from T-Mobile Home Internet (58%) and Verizon (48%) report coverage of Gresham homes (Verizon’s figure combines Fios fiber and 5G Home). They run over cell towers rather than cable or fiber, so they can work when a wired network is down. Cell coverage by area is 100% for 4G LTE and 100% for 5G.

About 10% of Gresham households, roughly 4,200 homes, get online only through a cell plan. For them a mobile outage is an internet outage.

Power and weather behind internet outages in Gresham

Portland General Electric (PGE) customers averaged 772 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.27 interruptions each, against 591 minutes for Oregon 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 Gresham power outages when both go out together.

Multnomah County logged 33 storm reports since 2015, most often heavy rain and debris flow. Reports peak in December. Power outages were named in 2 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 61.5% of Gresham homes, cable 99.5% and copper lines 4.4%. 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.
