Re: Counting down the days... While we're comparing apples to oranges, how long would your PC last on your cable box's battery?
We're not talking about a PC here so it is irrelevant. We're talking about how long would your Analog Telephone Adapter, router, and cable/DSL modem run on a typical UPS. Answer: long enough for the power to come back. If you need your cable co to supply the battery for you that's up to you, but you can most definitely easily do-it-yourself.

My PC would last probably less than 10 min on my 1500 UPS with my hardware and no, I don't need the cable company to supply anything, and the average user isn't going to just hook up those items to a UPS, they will also have a PC hooked up. |

Don't know if it's just for business or what, but Cablevision supplied us with a purpose-built (proprietary cable) APC UPS when we switched to Optimum Voice a few months ago. Don't know the specs but the installer said it should last 15 hours in an outage... while I doubt that number, I'm sure it'll be good for several hours. |
