If there was a power outage, like a blackout or such, does NTL have power backups for the broadband, phone and CATV etc? If so how long do/can they last?
There are some area's which have CATV/BB battery backup, fully charged batteries should last about 3 to 4 hrs.

DTV/BB & Telco are monitored 24/7 and generators would normally be put on to restore service, the problem arises after 10pm at night, as a noisey generator outside your bedroom window does not go down too well.
