It's not that Eddie. Verizon only offers a 1 hour stand-by battery if you loose power. Use the phone and the battery dies even faster. During Sandy, we lost internet service and voice cell service. The lights were flickering, but we never lost power. Verizon should provide at least a battery that will last 48 hours of continuous use. Yeah I know, fat chance.

Fiber optics power

According to Cincinnati Bell, their FiOptics service has a battery backup that provides up to 8 hours of standby time.

Louie, does your building not have emergency power for such things as the communications systems, hall lighting and elevators? If so, the fiber optics equipment should be connected to it.

I remember years back, we had emergency generators to power the water pumps, elevator and hall lights. Last black-out, they failed and never repaired. The management company and the president of the COOP board were found guilty for corruption and are now serving prison sentences. It's my hope that now that these crooks are out, the generators will be repaired. I have no idea whether Verizon would permit, or the COOP allow, phone equipment to be connected with the emergency power supply.
