Use mobile hotspot or backup services during outages

During a power outage, internet access can be maintained using a mobile hotspot or cellular data. This allows devices to connect to the internet, though speeds may be slower and data limits may apply. Internet providers like Xfinity, T-Mobile, and AT&T offer backup services that automatically switch to cellular connections when standard service is interrupted. These plans often come with additional fees and equipment requirements. For a long-term solution, investing in a generator or battery backup can keep your modem and router powered. This ensures continued internet access, as many internet services remain operational even during local power outages.
