It depends on how widespread the power outage is. Cox uses the power grid too. If they have a power outage, you'll have an Internet outage. During a local power outage, most Cox customers wouldn't have access to Internet service even if was available. Wired customers would be limited to their own available battery backup. Wireless providers aren't mandated to provide backup power generators at all cell sites, although it has been suggested by the federal government.
I understand that it isn't available for a widespread outage. Not sure I follow what you're saying about a local outage. I've got my gateway/router on a battery backup. Don't know how to tell if all Cox service goes down with a local outage or not.
