Re: Why would you want this - as a consumer? Yes but if the power goes out in your neighborhood then most likely cable goes out also. Yes there are bbu on the pole but some do not work and some only last an hour or so. |

That I am aware of, my folks have a whole house generator, after 8 hrs they lost TV & Internet from Cablevision. Didn't come back until LIPA got the neighborhood turned back on, granted they have DVRs from Directv and no DVR w/Cablevision, but point taken for extended outages in an area. |

It never happened here when I had Comcast and it doesn't happen with FiOS either. When I had Comcast five years ago and the power went out I could continue watching and recording the cable TV shows. And of course it's the same with FiOS for me. |
