Copper pair has some advantages: cabling in the house is simpler, for starters. Traditional phone is powered by the copper wires, whereas my phone now is on fiber and absolutely requires AC power (no battery backup, either).
My phone is VoIP over the cable TV network. The terminal has a built in battery for when power fails.
Not here.
However, there's nothing stopping you from buying a UPS.
On my expense. They are big, heavy things, and I need to place one behind the TV, which is already a mare nest of cables. A battery in the "ONT" (I don't know the English name) by the manufacturer (Lucent-Alcatel, IIRC) would be trivial to do. I do have an UPS upstairs that I will migrate downstairs, no (unsolvable) problem there. The computer has a newer, bigger, one.
I assume your carrier has provided power backup for their equipment.
Most certainly not. This link is in Spanish: http://fibraoptica.blog.tartanga.net/2014/07/04/analisis-de-los-equipos-util... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
