Aren't all cable supposed to have back up powers from power outages?

Hello.

I have my old Ambit/Ubee U10C018 cable modem and network devices 
connected to an UPS. When the power goes out in my area like a few days 
ago, its Internet service goes out too. I noticed the modem's ready 
light goes out so it basically lost connection. Aren't cable lines 
supposed to be powered? If not, then how do TWC's digital phone service 
work without power since its cable modem has an internal battery?

Thank you in advance. :)
