Power and weather behind internet outages in Hillsboro
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 Hillsboro power outages when both go out together.
Washington County logged 29 storm reports since 2015, most often flood and heavy rain. Power outages were named in 1 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 70.9% of Hillsboro homes, cable 95.5% and copper lines 0.3%. 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.
