Power and weather behind internet outages in Orem
Rocky Mountain Power customers averaged 118 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.07 interruptions each, against 120 minutes for Utah 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 Orem power outages when both go out together.
Utah County logged 118 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, flash flood, and hail. Reports peak in August. 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 91% of Orem homes, cable 97% and copper lines 70.8%. 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.
