Personally, I'm thinking of ditching my ISDN (gives clear dial tone at a long-distance from the CO) for something like the Verizon Home Connect box. Gives a few hours of built-in battery backup, but would fail once the tower loses power (usually 8-12 hours).
Hi Jared, Beware that the Verizon ONTs shut down all services *except* POTs when they lose AC power. Some kind of conservation mode to maximize the time 911 is available I guess. If you want Internet service (for VOIP) to continue during a power outage, you'll have to stack another UPS in front of it. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
