requiring ISPs to provide an option to voice customers to purchase a battery backup for emergency voice services during power outages. As this is only an option and only applies to customers who subscribe to voice services,
It's worse than that. The FiOS ONT I had would draw on the battery to preserve the voice ports I didn't even have an active line on, but it wouldn't power the ethernet port! Which was crazy because my landline was voip and the whole point of the requirement was that I be able to dial 911. Which I couldn't do because they cut my Internet port the voip service needs. It's silly anyway. If you want battery backup for the ONT, if that's important to you, just buy a cheap commodity UPS. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
