Is wireless service available during a power outage?
Wireless service may or may not be available during a power outage. On the other hand, landline service is line-powered, meaning that the power to operate the telephone is provided by the telephone company on the telephone line itself and is not dependent upon a power source in the home. Knology protects all switching centers with battery backup and generator power in the event of a commercial power outage. If a power outage occurs for an extended duration, there may be no way to recharge cell phone batteries.
