  I have heard that. I’ve also heard that sometimes after power outages the actual DPU pit doesn’t come back online how it’s meant to, and can require an NBN technician to come out and look into it

  Since the DPUs are reverse powered, I wonder if you plugged your NCD into a UPS if that means you’d still have internet and phone lines during a power outage? We had a brief power outage at my last place a few weeks ago, and it was a couple blocks away (listed as “animal damage”) We only lost power for about 5 seconds before I guess another nearby grid picked out house back up. It seems our nearest HFC exchange or pit or whatever they use was right near the power pole that was damaged was, so our internet was dead until morning when Jemena finally got someone round to fix it

    It should work just fine, provided that at the NBN side, the few bits that need power still has power or their batteries are still good.
