Put a battery back up on each of your machines and your modems will last longer. They get it from lightening strikes through the phone lines, if you are on dial up and could come through a cable modem as well. The battery back up delays the surge long enough for the unit to shut off power to the computer. Surge protectors are not fast enough to beat lightening, they will prevent line surges though.
We buy APC Battery Backups from Comp USA. $200 for retail, $160 to businesses.
