Our local crews are trained and ready to respond quickly and safely. When weather hits, they’re assessing, restoring, and communicating every step of the way. We also have manned customer service teams available to answer any questions 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, fiber-optic internet is less susceptible to weather-related outages than traditional copper lines. Since fiber transmits data using light signals through glass cables, it’s immune to electromagnetic interference caused by lightning or heavy rain.

If your home loses power, your internet service will go down unless you have a backup power source like a generator or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for your modem/router.

Yes. Fiber-optic lines are often buried underground and are not affected by moisture or temperature changes the way copper cables are. This makes fiber more resilient during storms compared to cable or DSL.

For maximum safety, unplug your router and modem during a lightning storm if you're not using a surge protector. Consider a UPS with surge protection to maintain internet access during short outages.

While buried fiber lines are typically protected, above-ground lines can be vulnerable to fallen trees or flying debris. Ezee Fiber works with local crews to restore service as quickly as possible in the event of damage.

  • Install a UPS battery backup for your modem/router.
  • Use surge protectors on all networking equipment.
  • Make a plan for offline access to important files or emergency info.

Restoration times vary based on the extent of damage, but our crews begin immediate assessment and repair efforts once it's safe. Our all-fiber network allows for quick rerouting and recovery in many cases.

As long as you have power (or a battery backup), Wi-Fi will work during a storm. Keep in mind that your internet access may still be affected by infrastructure damage beyond your home. Our team and crews will monitor and assess as soon as it is safe to do so.

If you have a question, need to troubleshoot, or just want to chat with a real person, our customer service team is here 24/7. Contact us anytime.
