Power and weather behind internet outages in Gillette
Cable nodes, fiber cabinets and cell towers in Gillette depend on grid power and carry batteries that last hours, not days, so a long power cut can take internet down even for homes whose own power has returned. See Gillette power outages when both go out together.
Campbell County logged 433 storm reports since 2015, most often hail, thunderstorm wind, and tornado. Reports peak in June. 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 53.7% of Gillette homes, cable 91.1% and copper lines 92%. 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.
