Yes it can. In fact, if your computer and modem are both plugged into an UPS you may be able to continue Surfing during a power outage. It will also protect the modem from power line surges and brown outs that could otherwise be destructive. Many UPS have jacks to plug the telephone line in to protect against surges on the telephone line (phone modems) but typically don't have protection for surges on cable.

Why is there no dial tone on your Comcast phone?

There are a number of possible causes. First, make sure that the telephone is securely plugged into the jack, and that both ends of the telephone wire from the cable modem to the telephone jack are plugged in properly. Then make sure that the coaxial cable is securely plugged into the cable modem and that the cable modem is plugged in and receiving power. The next step is to unplug the electrical power from the cable modem for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. If none of those steps resolves the problem, then you will have to call Comcast from another phone for further instructions.

How should you test a UPS to see if it is working properly?

Unplug the UPS from the outlet with devices plugged into the UPS. You should unplug all devices from the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and then unplug the UPS from the outlet. The UPS alarm should sound and you should be able to test the UPS outlets and verify that they have power.
