Yes, about the cable phone.

I'm not sure if there is signal in the coax, when the power goes out.
There may be cable substations and all, which need power. I just don't
know.

I think he's talking about a cable phone. It's sort of a landline,
meaning it isn't a cell phone, but when the power goes out, the cable
modem goes out and thus the phone goes out. I have one and that's the
deal. Even having an old wired phone won't help.

I guess the cable is independent of the power though and if you can
power the modem, the phone (and TV and Internet!) should work.

Assuming I get my generator, I assume that I'll be able to power the
modem.
