They set up fiber-to-the-node down the road from me and that gets power from the ordinary power lines so when my power is out my ADSL is out and I'm not getting any work done anyway.
I certainly thought it was ridiculous that I was doing AC-to-DC-to-AC conversion with the UPS when just charging up a DC battery would be so much more efficient at the scale I was working. I thought it through though and came to the conclusion that the market didn't really exist.
