Of course, all is vulnerable at some level, hence the second alternative 4G backup, but then of course the tower masts can lose power too. Just depends how big the EOTWAWKI clouds get.

Cheers

Then my old slow ADSL is a better option as a backup to my fast cable connection ;-)

Yes, might well be the case. Digging around here they do take a local power feed for the new fibre parts and that has often been a source of delay for people being able to upgrade.

Hi mastadee - I've seen this post in your thread and I thought to ask you what UPS system you use?

Hi xplorer,

I have these ones here: Koblenz México - Modelo: 4816 R (Mexican version)

In the UK, I guess these would be equivalent: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00T7BYV6W?ref_=ams_ad_dp_asin_3

hope that helps, good thing is that I use a laptop and the wattage is really low, hence I can work like 1-2h without power as it also runs on it's battery plus the modem only consumes 8W and my 2 monitors each 25W. So if you experience power cuts then check your devices how much watts they consume and add it up. Then you can calculate what UPS you would need in order to give you enough time to close trades and so on. hope that helps

Hi mastadee - I've seen this post in your thread and I thought to ask you what UPS system you use?

Seeing that Mastadee's answer related to Mexico, and as you also live in the UK, I bought this one a couple of years ago (when I was buying a new computer), and got it from these people:

https://www.criticalpowersupplies.co.uk/CyberPower-Intelligent-LCD-PFC-1300VA-UPS?gclid=CJKHsu2l77wCFU_KtAodnXYApQ

At the time they only had this 1300va model in stock as it was fairly new, I wanted the Sinewave technology, but now they have the smaller 900va model in stock too. If I was buying today I would probably get the smaller model. For reference the 1300va model gives me about 45 minutes of run time with charting packages open on an i7 350GHz quad with 16GB ram, an SSD and standard hard drive an okay graphics card and a couple of monitors. All of my computer stuff basically except for a laser printer which, because they have a very large power draw when they are switched on that can overwhelm a UPS; should not be plugged in to it.

Very important for the UPS to be an on-line model as there is no interruption delay when power goes off..they are more expensive and heavier. You can see the fan in the rear for cooling, plus they make a small amount of noise. A good make is APC, they also carry replacement batteries. Don't forget to plug a phone also in the UPS.

APC batteries are expensive. They use industry standard batteries. Compatible batteries can be bought on Amazon or eBay for much less. Look up the OEM part number here: APC Replacement Battery Cross Reference - Moyer Electronics
