My home connection drops as soon as the power goes out and one of the
guys I work for has the same issue

Hi all,
Does anyone have any current information on how resilient the FttN is
to power outages? NBNco outright denies it will work during an outage
[1], but that's not the evidence I'm seeing.
SP AusNet is getting worse and worse with power supply, so we recently
installed a whole-home backup generator. We had an ~20 hour outage
yesterday. We retained connectivity for almost 12 hours; I saw a
generator being connected at the local exchange not long after and we
were back online again after ~2 hours, and stayed online since
(including another ~5 hours without mains power).
I would install a 4G failover/backup, but when the power goes out and
everyone's WiFi goes off, the mobile network gets overloaded - we can
barely make phone calls, let alone use data.... So I'm kinda SOL :(
(If it's relevant, we're in the Yarra Valley area)
TIA,
