I put my cable modem and router on UPS power for the same reason, but I've noticed that, at 
least here in downtown Raleigh, that when we lose power we also lose cable modem service. 
There is no delay at all in the loss of service.  Apparently, TimeWarner hasn't made the 
infrastructure investment to include UPS power in their facilities in my area (Boylan 
Heights). :-(
