Will I lose fiber service if my power is out?

Fiber by Central Florida internet service will not work without power. Electrical power is required to operate devices in your home such as your TV, internet modem and home phone. Electrical power must be restored before our technicians can begin damage assessment and outage restoration. Typically fiber service is restored once the customer’s power is restored.
