Kind of expected on the GC but in Melbourne one expects a bit more. :-( Yes. I'm looling at a UPS and a generator as well. The last major blackout was over a day in length. Can't afford to be out of action that long. So a small UPS with a smallish generator would probably do the trick. Hi Richard,

If you just plug your modem/router into it, a 600VA model should stay online for the entire length of the blackout - or at least until your laptop battery runs out. It could allow you to keep working even when the power is out. I haven't done it myself, but it is something I intend to do. Have been researching it myself following several blackouts / lightning strikes in recent weeks. Have you considered getting a UPS for the ADSL modem?
