That's probably a really bad example, because you will get ~240 volts from your electricity supplier but it can be 230v or sometimes less. Our UPS shows the current from our supplier and it does vary a bit, but the UPS is good in that it "cleans" it to give a constant 240v to our servers.
In any case, poor example aside, every consumer ISP out there does the "up to" thing.
