[ale] Comcast Static IPv6?

I went from Comcast to AT&T Uverse several years ago. More recently, 
when there has been a power blink at my house the Uverse service will 
drop out and won't come back for at least 15 minutes. It didn't used to 
be like that; it would stay up through and after short power failures 
so, with everything in the house fully UPSsed, everything just kept 
working. Both my wife and I work from home at least part of the time, so 
this is a real problem.

So has it been your experience that Comcast Business is less vulnerable 
to dropping out from power failures? I really don't want their 
CATV/residential service but I'm willing to go the business route if it 
will stay up and if I also get less latency and the ability to host my 
own Internet-facing servers in the process.
