I grew up in Miami and I remember one time a hurricane knocked power out at our house for over a week. We got a generator and we were able to get online. School was cancelled of course, so I was thrilled. I don't remember if we had DSL or cable at that point. Telephone always seemed to withstand power outages too. You don't even need a generator or UPS because corded phones can power themselves with just the phone line.
