[PPRAANet] COS Century Link Question

[Joshua]

That's good to know, Paul. I'm still on CenturyLink's DSL, which has its own power in my neighborhood. Of they ever provide fiber at my QTH, I'll ask about their power and backup power solution.

I've cobbled together a backup DSL modem/router backup power solution next time we loose power as well. Waiting for deals on B grade LiFePO4 batteries, pure sine inverters, and a decent box takes patience. Maybe I'll forgo the inverter and add a DC power regulator and barrel jack.

If someone cuts the cable, of course, it won't work. The COS Century Link Fiber Optic system might have a battery back up for my area or it's source and amplifiers might not have been effected by the power outage along my fiber route. No way to tell which parts of their system might have been in the effected power outage area, but it all kept working for me. i am using my laptop computer with its internal battery.
