I have 4-5 hours outages every day, I use 2 APC ups to keep my modem and router up, while I still work with my laptop.
It works perfectly for me, these APC devices have given me at the very least 1500 hours of continuos internet access where I could work or entertain myself during the outages over the last 4 years, so I think the 180$ per unit it cost, was a pretty good investment in my case
- zymhan 6y agoI was very pleasantly surprised when my power went out one day, but my UPSes managed to keep the Modem/Router and my PC running, and I got to finish my multiplayer game :)
- beervirus 6y agoThat’s a crazy level of downtime. Whereabouts?
- bowmessage 6y agoI'm surprised to see that if the power is out in your area, that the power used to boost coax signals in your area is not out as well!
- jcrawfordor 6y agoIf the cable provider offers digital voice, they're required to have backup power for their infrastructure for at least 24 hours (or 8 hours under older regs) to allow for 911 calls. The power injectors used for cable amplifiers usually just have a couple of lead-acid batteries in them.
- hackmiester 6y agoJust because they are required to do it, doesn't mean they do it. My source is experience.
- bonestamp2 6y agoWhy is there so much interruption to your power?

- bonestamp2 6y agoFair enough. One of my coworkers is from there. It's a sad situation. Best wishes my friend.
