said by s13:said by Cheese:Again, and READ carefully, THE AVERAGE USER IS NOT GOING TO POWER JUST A CABLE MODEM/PHONE ADAPTER, THEY ARE GOING TO PLUG A PC INTO IT, which in turn is going to drain the UPS quicker, and in turn, the phone service will not last as LONG as say a CDV modem
Uh huh, and if you didn't have the memory of a goldfish, you'd realize I have been talking about a DEDICATED UPS the whole time. As in DEDICATED to the MODEM and/or NETWORK HARDWARE. As in NOT USED WITH A PC. My 81 year-old grandmother, a longtime Optimum Voice subscriber, was smart enough to figure this out and she's one of the least computer-savvy people I know. If she could do it then the average Vonage customer (who one can assume to be a bit more savvy by default) probably can too.
