Comment on Power Loss but Still Online with Fiber Connection

Your fiber ONT box (where the fiber signal gets converted to copper ethernet) probably has a backup battery in it. This is especially useful if you have VOIP landline phone service through your fiber provider so you can call for help if necessary when the power is out. You or your provider will need to replace this battery every few years, just like with a UPS.

In my case the NID is in the basement and connected to my own UPS that powers everything on my main comm panel.
