⚡Fall weather turns quickly. Wind, heavy rain, and the first hard freeze can all bring down power lines.
Take a few minutes now so the next storm goes more easily:
- Check the battery backup on your equipment, and make sure your WiFi router runs on backup power.
- Save DFN's outage number in your phone in case you need to report an outage.
- Download a few shows to stay entertained while the lights are out.
- Back up your important files in case of a damaging power surge.
- On that note, plug your equipment on a surge protector.
One cool fact about fiber: the lines carry light instead of electricity, so they do not conduct electrical surges the way copper can.
