It turns out, Comcast's outside plant was woefully unprepared to
handle long, i.e. 24 hour, power outages.  And even when power is
restored to people's homes, Comcast service is often still down.

When I had Comcast in Huntsville, AL, there appeared to be no backup
power in their plant.  Any power blink and my Internet and TV both
dropped (my equipment is on UPS).
