Verizon provides a battery backup for the optical network terminal good for 8 hours. During the 10 day outage post Sandy, I had it plugged into the generator along with the router so I had internet.
Heck, DSL goes out when the power is out here--I've got my modem and server on a large UPS that keep going, but "nobody's home" on the DSL hookup until main power comes back up. At this point, an excellent reason to avoid VOIP here.
