Power and weather behind internet outages in Irving
Oncor customers averaged 532 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.71 interruptions each, against 1,271 minutes for Texas 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 Irving power outages when both go out together.
Dallas County logged 608 storm reports since 2015, most often hail, flash flood, and thunderstorm wind. Reports peak in May. 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 66.3% of Irving homes, cable 92% and copper lines 14.5%. 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.
