anyone know if VDSL cabinets have a UPS?
Contractors have been digging up the street outside my apartment for months, yesterday Saturday they were mucking around with power first thing in the morning
then about 1020PM at night my SNAP VDSL connection stopped working for a few mins, then it did a resynch and suddenly jumped from 38/9 to 52/10Mb and worked for about another 2 mins then stopped/failed completely
1120PM I logged a call with SNAP, who said other users connected to the cabinet (which I can see about 30m from my window) also disconnected
then about 1220AM this morning a Chorus contractor comes to look at the Cabinet, mucks around till about 2AM then goes home
Today about midday Vector/North Power guys turn up and basically run a long power line strung up along the side of a building for about 50m into the back of the cabinet
Any ideas why the cabinet would fail so many hours after the power guys went home, do they have a UPS/battery backup that would last for hours?
