[NANOG] Re: Small Capacity UPS

The sad thing is, buried fiber is not always an end-all, be-all answer. I’ve seen a significant number of “operators” that bury the fiber, but don’t put their OLT cabinets/huts on gensets… or if they do have generators, they are not maintained. This was proven to be a huge issue during Hurricane Beryl last year, where every FTTx operator in Houston (except for one) had large quantities of outages throughout the entire metro.

My current problem is that comcast/xfinity goes out more than the power flickers. I can't wait for buried fiber on my street to come one day.
