    Ziply fiber ONT have a little battery on them for exactly this. Seems to last around 4 hours in my experience. Seems reasonable to me.

      Yes and no, you’d need a modem with a backup too. Where I am ONT and Modem are generally provider equipment and serial/ addresses for ONTs are used to enable them so they couldn’t just use anything.

      They did get an all in one with a battery but the regulations wouldn’t allow for it because it closed the customer in to that provider.

        Ziply ONT does the fiber translation and just spits out ethernet which you can plug into anything you want. I use it with a little 4port 2.5G router box and opensense. So I’ve just got a basic APC UPS for my router to keep it alive as well

          It must be a point to point network to allow for a spurious Pants though, correct?
