I live in N GA and this last summer, we had a storm that took out power for two days.
We have AT&T fiber Internet service.
I had a portable generator running, principally, so we didn’t lose our refrigerated and frozen food. It also powered the fiber modem, the Internet modem, my router, Wi-Fi A.P. and everything critical in my home office. The Internet worked just fine…but we were lucky. The same storm took out a lot of infrastructure that provides comm to our area. AT&T fiber was not affected (presumably because it is largely in the ground).
