Not 100% accurate. In my area we do have a sprinkling of CATV/BB nodes that do have UPS to keep things going. Generally dependent on usage and all the rest, it can give about 4 hours of back-up.

Intersting thought though, if the mains do go off in 95% of the cases everyones power goes off. So it's no good having the UPS if a wide area is affected
