[LUG]OT: Voip power cut, FTTC

 

We lost power for 8 hours in the last storm and given we are dependent on Voip I was 
thinking of getting a UPS for modem, router etc. The other half of the village were 
only out for 6 hours.

If however we have an area outage then presumably the cabinet will also lose power 
and hence getting a UPS for voip is probably a waste of money.

Does anyone know how I can check whether the local cabinet has a battery or 
alternative power?


FTTP (for those lucky to have it seems to be covered)
