What if the power goes out?
Because DSL and cable connections rely on modems that need to be plugged in, when the power goes out, so do the modem and telephone adapter your VoIP telephone relies on. But cable lines keep humming in the dark, even though the modems stop working. If you are concerned about losing your telephones during a power outage, consider buying a universal power supply that keep desktop PCs running during a power interruption. By plugging your broadband modem, telephone adapter, and any intervening network routers into that UPS, you will avoid losing telephone service during outages.
