Re: Cable Modems

Jon, isn't graceful shutdown always a winning move? Just the nuisance factor makes a UPS useful if you have a couple of power blip every year or so. imho

Thanks for all the comments.

I had a feeling that there were probably repeaters etc. in the line that could be impacted. We rarely get major outages and when we do (like the last one) it covered 80% of the city (population about 300,000) so the chance that the cable would have worked are slim to none anyway I suspect.

Looks like UPS is only worth it for the surge protection (which I already have) - chances that it would allow on-going connection during any significant outage are probably slim and the money would be better spent on another hot-spot - except of course that we are in a virtual black-spot here ... can't win!

Thanks again to all.
