increasing backup power time

It is a simple matter to have longer-lasting battery backup for your services. Purchase a UPS and plug the ONT onto that device. The larger the UPS, the more time you have. I have my ONT, Router/Switches and cordless phone base plugged into my $150 UPS and I have up to 24 hours power for phone, Internet (using wireless router)

Re: increasing backup power time

Reportedly, the way the ONT is set up, it automatically shuts off Internet access after either a few minutes or an hour or so to conserve power in the event of an outage. (This popped up in a thread here, but I don't remember which one.) That said, even if just for maintaining phone service in a sustained outage, a small UPS really isn't a bad idea...
