So will I. I have a battery backup. Enjoy your celly when the towers are maxed during an emergency...when you'd likely actually require the use of enhanced/emergency 911 service.
#1 - It's likely that your OV service will die during a power failure, because Cablevision does not properly maintain their battery-backup equipment.

#2 - I'd use my POTS line for 911 during an emergency, so any cell site problems would not be an issue.
So you pay 12+ dollars for e911.

Also, there is a brand new hardened battery backup/power supply at the node just in front of our building. They demonstrated the capability of OV with power failure for the tenants as a selling point if they had a UPS. It works beautifully.

I'd be curious as what maintenance that thing needs and if CV gets around to doing it when needed. I wouldn't count on it to run for more than a few hours. Good for the occasional outage (if you have your modem in a UPS) but probably not for an extended outage.
