A lot of people think that when you lose power at your house, your TV and home internet services go out too. Sometimes that’s the case but believe it or not, your TV and internet service are typically fine — you just can’t use them because your home router, cable modem and TV can’t be powered on. It’s fine to do without TV for a short time until the power comes back on, but losing your home internet service means you can’t work or do anything else without eating into your cellular data plan.
