Craig, When you loose power at your home most of the other areas around you most often have power and yes your internet might work.
For New Orleans after Katrina type of event all for miles around you is down and I would not expect any service to work. Your battery/AC converter will make your computer work, but not the rest of the system. Here most of our cel phones and newer internet services are in fiber under ground and this has been planned to survive, but I do not count on it. The systems are rugged, but I am sure there are weaknesses that will be taken out. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: Craig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2008/06/27 Fri AM 03:36:43 EDT >To: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com >Subject: [dstar_digital] Re: Limited access > > > >I wonder how many internet users THINK the internet is out but its >only because their cable modem went dark when the AC power quit at >their location.
