Hello!

I wanted to create this post to see if I can get an answer, as google seems to give mixed results. This winter, I was thinking of getting a small generator incase our power goes out. We live in a rural area, so I have propane for heat, but was more worried about keeping devices charged and some lights.

I was curious if we had a power outage, if I powered my modem- would I still be able to have internet access? We have Xfinity but I wasn’t sure if there is a total power outage, if the internet would go down either until the local system is brought back up or if it had batteries/self generators so the network stays up during an outage.

    I didn’t have luck with power loss in certain areas.

    Spectrum at my last house would go out during widespread power loss. It doesn’t go out at my current house during widespread power loss… At least not on the short term.

    I have starlink as a backup in the event spectrum goes out.
