I agree, while the majority of government and service providers have the opinion that POTS is a lifeline service, and ethernet is not, I disagree. I know the service provider I work for is starting to change their views on this, but it will take time for the general populous of managers, etc throughout the nation to realize this.
Since no one is mentioning it, the batteries often can only power POTS for 8 hours. If ethernet is left on, it drastically drops the runtime. This is not acceptable, yet I haven't seen a good setup that can provide 8+ hours for both. Of course, it's been a non-issue for me. We run weeks without power just fine with FTTC. Jack
