Well a UPS won't do you much good, as they generally have uptime
measured in minutes, which will be good to not say interrupt a phone
call, but it is a worth while consideration that you have no 911 service
~ in the event of an extended power outage.  Don't forget either though
that even a cell phone without a service contract will get you 911.  So
just having one laying around charged is a good enough protection for an
instance like that.

As far as comcast, afaik there is no contract... I don't have one?  I
thought it was a month to month service?
