That's one upside to DSL's. They use the telephone system is independent and often powered by another sector of the grid not affected, so they stay up.
Yep, DSL for the win. I have a stopwatch running to see how long I can power the modem and router. DD1 finished her homework and is in bed so if need be I can use that powerpack along with the 12vdc plug for my netbook to go well in to the night...or me and DW could go to bed early.
