fibre phone service during power outage
Is there an option for powering the Fibre Optic ONT during a power outage?

No. I meant to say FAIL! previously.

My ONT has a light but obviously no battery because the unit and my service shut down when I pulled the plug.
My install is more recent than yours as you can see by the unit sticker on the bottom dated Sept '18.
front panel:
I suppose that there is a model of this ONT that has a battery pack but, with the extra expense, it is unlikely that it would be sourced by TELUS. You never know though.
The POTS light comes on when you use the phone and I was expecting that the BTRY light would have come on when the plug was pulled. Silly me.
