In my area the power has been cut off either for a few hours or less than a second, and is now too many times in the last month. Each time I loss my work and have to wait for power to be restored and a new boot up.

I was thinking of getting a UPS and putting the cable modem and router on the UPS together with my PC. However are the Virgin Media cabinets at the end of my street using power as well? If so internet will still go down.
