We’re currently phasing out copper connections in the UK. It’s now at the “stop-sell” phase for several regions (new copper connections cannot be provisioned).
When fibre connections first arrived, OpenReach (the main network) would supply the connection with a battery backup unit (BBU).
Nowadays, they’re only supplied to users with specific needs.
I’ve considered fitting a UPS to my networking, but decided it just wasn’t worth it.
We’ve had one power cut in the last 5 years, vs the cost of running a UPS for all that time, I’m not that fussed!
