It's worse than that. The FiOS ONT I had would draw on the battery to preserve the voice ports I didn't even have an active line on, but it wouldn't power the ethernet port! Which was crazy because my landline was voip and the whole point of the requirement was that I be able to dial 911. Which I couldn't do because they cut my Internet port the voip service needs. It's silly anyway. If you want battery backup for the ONT, if that's important to you, just buy a cheap commodity UPS.
