Does the cellular network rely on the local grid. My internet dies every time the lights go out.

Yes, the cellular network towers in Sri Lanka rely heavily on the local electrical grid. While major towers have backup batteries or generators, they often fail during extended regional power cuts, causing your mobile data to drop to sluggish 3G speeds or disappear entirely.

To counter this, make sure you book accommodation at a hotel or coworking space that advertises an uninterrupted power supply UPS specifically for their fiber optic wifi router. Fiber cables do not lose signal during power cuts if the router remains powered on.
