Re: Fios takes out the power backup selling point The design criteria for SLC is eight to twelve hours of battery backup. Indeed. The Florida PSC does not view the SLC as a remote CO (even tho that is actually what they are) and has no statutory requirement for battery capacity. Battery backup, while it is supposed to be good for 8-24 hours, doesn't always happen. I had to report the local ILEC to the PSC twice because the SLC had zero battery capacity. When you live in the boonies, and the power fails, its hard to call the power utility if the POTS line fails as well.
I'll leave it the imagination of the reader who the ILEC might be  |
