Re: Lets see...

Not too surprising for DSL - Unless you're on an RT, there's no active equipment between you and the CO that needs powering. And I assume COs are very well poised to maintain power during a power outage.

RTs are, again, tied to voice services, so those are also surely designed to run during a power outage.

Cable has a lot of active equipment between the end user and the plant that needs powering. I remember back when I had MediaOne (no phone services offered), whenever there was a power outage, there was a predictable amount of time it took for their data services to come back up once power was restored. It was sort of like waiting for their computers to boot-up!
