Re: Verizon FIOS Battery Backup Minor point, It's impossible to hook up the battery wrong. The negative has a standard spade lug , but the positive has a fitted connector. Also the connector to the BBU is keyed. |

I have been a chill/shill ? police for a long time. so , you know they have to supply te power to pots phone. and this battery is a back up for the power so you can dial out in a ememrgency. this is their responsibility, and if our reps and senators were not bought and paid for they would have already extended the rugulations afforded to POTs to FIOS.save your rsponse that will go along the lines of "most people have cell phones etc.etc.etc"
most of us are paying 150.00 minimum , so they can send most of us a 10.00 replacement battery, and NOT charge us, and do it for the elderly for FREE.
AARP where are you ? |

Because they don't have the same system as Fios. They don't install battery backups as standard equipment. |

Glen Burnie, MD | So it is ok for them to provide no backup, versus a system that has a backup but it requires the customer to replace a battery every 4-5 years? |

Because they don't have the same system as Fios. They don't install battery backups as standard equipment. But their local neighborhood feeds do use power supplies, and when the electricity goes out so do the feeds, at lease until they hook up temporary power generators for their line amplifiers. |

It's called regulation - same reason POTS lines are taxed. Cable Cos are not regulated. |

Dude you need a reboot, remove the cooler from your brain, put new silver paste to cunduct heat away from your logic center.
"because cable has a box hanging at a pole a couple of blocks from you with a big car battery in it, and then they send you a good OLD cable signal down a 20 or 30 year old coaxial cable tha probably has cracked insulation from ultra violet radiation to your house , therefore negating your need of a battery. |
