When major weather events threaten our area, we take extra measures to deploy a variety of technical resources: generators, fuel, extra fiber-optic cable and specialized tools to strategic locations near the potential path of the storm, so we can respond immediately to any interruptions.
These organizations are not affiliated with RCN in any way.
Should you lose power to your home, cable services cannot be restored until electrical power from your local power company is back up and running. We will be monitoring this event closely to manage your service needs during this event.
Your safety and the safety of our team members are important to RCN. Please follow any travel and weather advisories. Visit this page for ongoing news and updates.
Please be aware of your surroundings and do not touch any down lines and wires.

Q: I have TV service but it goes in and out and the picture quality is not as good as usual.
A: Temporary fluctuations in your cable service may occur throughout the restoration period. You may experience brief losses of your cable services or degradation of picture quality as the power continues to be restored throughout the area.
Q: I do not currently have electrical power or TV, Internet or Phone services. Should I call to arrange for a service call?
A: If you DO NOT have electrical power restored to your home, you will not have cable services. You should not call for a service call until your electrical power at your home has been restored.
Q: Why did I lose my TV, Internet and Phone services and still have power?
A: While RCN’s facilities are generally located on the same poles as electric companies, the utilities are often fed from a different power source than the cable. There are different “distribution” points along the way. If one of these distribution points does not have commercial power, your cable will not work.
Q: My neighbor has TV, Internet and Phone services but I do not.
A: If you have electrical power at your home, but no TV, Internet or Phone service, please Contact Us. If you DO NOT have commercial power restored you will not have cable services.
With same-day installation, two-hour service windows and 24/7 customer support, switching to RCN has never been easier.
