Re: Does Broadband go down during a power cut?
I'm in Middlesbrough (TS6 0) and I can confirm broadband does have backup, at least in my area. I had an outage of 1 hour several times over Christmas and each time it stayed online with the help of my UPS's. I have one for my network, and one for each of my pc's/server.

At the very least a UPS would stop your PC being damaged, even if your modem takes a minute or two to come back online.
