DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LIGHTS GO OUT.
In today’s connected world, your internet isn’t just a convenience—it’s your lifeline. When the power goes out, traditional copper phone lines continue working because they carry their own electricity. But fiber optic technology, despite its superior speed and reliability, has one critical vulnerability: it needs power to function.
Why You Need a Battery Backup for Fiber Internet
Unlike traditional copper phone lines that carry their own low voltage DC power current, fiber optic cables don't transmit electricity. This means when the power goes out, so does your internet connection - unless you have a battery backup solution.
What Happens During a Power Outage?
When the power goes out:
- Your Optical Network Terminal (ONT) loses power
- Your router and WiFi devices shut down
- All internet-dependent services become unavailable
Why This Matters More Than Ever
In today's connected world, losing internet access means:
- No access to emergency services via VoIP phones
- Loss of home security systems
- No way to check weather alerts or emergency information
- Inability to work from home or attend remote classes
- Disconnection from family and friends
Did You Know?
The average American experiences 1.3 power outages per year, with an average duration of 4 hours per outage. In rural or storm-prone areas, outages can last days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a battery backup for my fiber internet?
If you rely on your internet connection for work, safety, or emergency communications, a battery backup is essential. Without it, your fiber internet will immediately stop working during a power outage, leaving you disconnected when you might need connectivity most. We can't recommend this enough.
How long does installation take?
Installation typically takes 15-20 minutes and is performed by our certified technicians. We'll ensure your system is properly connected to your fiber equipment and test it to confirm everything works properly during a power failure.
What maintenance is required?
Our battery backup systems are designed to be low-maintenance. The 8-hour system typically needs battery replacement every 3-5 years, while the 24-hour system uses higher-quality batteries that last 5-7 years. The systems will alert you when battery performance declines.
Can I install it myself?
Professional installation is included in the price and highly recommended to ensure proper integration with your fiber equipment. Improper installation could damage your fiber equipment or void warranties.
What happens if the power outage lasts longer than my backup time?
When the battery is depleted, your internet will shut down until power is restored. The 24-hour system can be connected to auxiliary battery packs or generators for extended outages in extreme situations.
