Too much lightning out there, supply some to your capital dude, we're running powerless thesedays ;)

But its still good being powerless than being internetless, isn't it?
 
What you need is something like this - I keep it between the wall socked and my UPS. Bought this many years back - at least 15 years - cannot remember where and what price. :)
 
actually i had somethin called a lightning arrester.. but it stopped working after a while (internet failed to connect when the cable wasplugged into it ) .. it cost me 100 bucks or something... i usually unplug my cable when it rains :p its the best way to prevent ur comp from becoming a frying pan :p

dude i hv ups.......

I have an APC and a PCM UPS and both of these have protection for LAN cable against lightning. Does you UPS have this feature ? ..... and yes I still unplug my cable conx during thunder and lightning periods.

A friend has a cable Net conx and this was attached to a Networked setup which is always on - one night lightning hit the cable outside his place and this fried all his computers - they were TOAST :) ..... I think he had about 12 computers burnt by that lightning hit.
