Cable is more reliable in my area (East Coast) than electricity. I was without power for 2.5 weeks after hurricane Isabel. But my digital phone service came back quickly.
A few months ago, I bought a 15,000 KW generator. The power is on more often than not, but when it is off you really miss things like ice and the internet. I would only rely on the power company for broadband service if it was the only option.
