Do you keep your stuff on backup power supplies? I have every electronic device in my house (that I can) on a UPS. Before I invested in all these UPS's I used to have to replace a component of some sort it seemed like monthly.

Besides with the UPS my cable modem, router, phone, and ATA will run for more than a hour without power.

As I am sure your aware small fluctuations in power can damage electronics. If your power goes out for a moment the power is too low. Then when it comes back on it surges as it spreads out. Either can damage electronics.

As for my old ATA after I left Vonage I sent it to someone I know who had a router fried. I called them yesterday and they are still using it today as just a router. They have had it for a long long ...long time. I used it for about a year myself.

Then again maybe they just sent me one from the "good batch"
