Interesting experience, this has happened twice now. When house looses power I am still online now that I have moved to Fiber.
It feels a bit eerie. My network and computers, TV, media center, etc are all on UPS so they just keep going. Things just get really quite which is interrupted by just the periodic beeps of the UPS systems.
Does anyone know why my new Fiber connection does this but my old system which was bonded DSL did not? I know back in the early days of DSL I could do this, but some where along the way it stopped being power outage resistant.
Welcome to the secret internet when all your neighbors stop hogging it! (Well, less of a thing these days)
I was an early adopter of a cable modem with AT&T before download bandwidth caps. When the neighborhood went dark, I jumped to my computer and beeping UPS to download everything I could to find my max speed.
