[TriLUG] OT: FOR SALE - Working APC UPS and/or New Olympus XD Card

[Alan Sterger]

What was meant was in the end it doesn't matter if my cablemodem is on a 
UPS or not as when there is a power outage TWC is down.  Thus, even if 
I'm protected, the TWC feed is not, so why bother.

This was demonstrated recently during a local power outage.  All of our 
neighbors who were on a TWC bundle with telephone had no service - no 
cable, no telephone, no Internet.  None of them could be reached via 
telephone.  We have a wire line and could call and be called without 
difficulty.

Cheers,

-- Alan Sterger
