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.15KViews0likes4CommentsRe: fibre phone service during power outage
Thanks for the info. I wasn't thinking about this when they installed it. A friend was telling me about his VOIP service that failed when there was a power outage and it dawned on me that my service would probably fail under the same conditions. I'm rearranging the setup of the service boxes at home and I took a closer look at the ONT and noticed a BTRY light. Naively, I thought that maybe it would come on indicating battery power when I pulled the power cord--TELUS wouldn't sell me service that didn't work in a power outage or inform of that fact, would they? Anyway, I waited till everyone was in bed and pulled the cord to test my hypothesis and, guess what .... So I suppose that it will be necessary to get a different version of the ONT from TELUS--is that correct?15KViews0likes6Comments
