One thing that I think service providers take into account is that whilemany people still have phones that do not have their own power source,battery backups for home computers aren't that common as a general rule.There is no need to have battery backup for internet services if the computer doesn't have power.
Most people I know use laptops as their primary computers. These most definitely have battery backup.

I know the service provider I work for is starting to change their views on this, but it will take time for the general populous ofmanagers, etc throughout the nation to realize this.

This is an actual setting in just about all manufacturers of ftth equipment. You'll probably have a hard timeto get them to change the profile on the equipment tho but it is possible. Hi Carlos, I realize why it's done. I merely point out that there are common configurations in which the having the FTTH NID power the POTS circuitry and drop the Internet circuitry is exactly the opposite of correct. Where instead of preserving access to emergency responders, it is intentionally designed to cut that access.
