But, if I get FTTN ( a box on the street corner servicing 100 subs) with no power backup, we will
lose services even if the local telephone exchange building is OK.
Yep, I'm FTTN here, and a few days ago we had a 18 hour blackout, and even though we had generator power, we had no internet after about 20 minutes (they do have backup power, but only for a short time).
I had hoped to get FTTC here, but wasn't to be.
So I've got myself a 4G dongle so I can stay connected that way.
