What is the process of getting a BBU, and what does it do?

Go to solution

After reading an article recently it said that if you're a vulnerable customer you can request a BBU for the ONT, for in case of a power cut.

Does the BBU only power the ONT? Can it also power the router too?

I'm thinking its only powering the ONT. But in case of a power cut, with the phone plugged in to the router, how is this allowing me to make a phone call during a power cut?

Or am I wrong about the purpose of the BBU?

It just powers the ONT. You either need a separate one for the hub or a UPS to power both.
