Don't forget that even if you have a UPS at your house, you would be dependent on the Cable Company having power to their various distribution amplifier locations.
If they don't have a battery backup or get a portable gen set hooked in after a power outage you don't have service anyway.

Truth. Spectrum in my part of the state has absolutely
ZERO batteries in their gray powersupply enclosures on the utility poles. Only way you might have service in a power outage is if you live right near the cableco hub (typical concrete cellphone style building). The line amps for those trunks are inside the hub which has generator power. But as you get further down the road, they don't have enough power to service.
