anyone have any current information on how resilient the FttN is to

AusNet is getting worse and worse with power supply, so we recently
installed a whole-home backup generator. We had an ~20 hour outage

generator being connected at the local exchange not long after and we
were back online again after ~2 hours, and stayed online since
(including another ~5 hours without mains power).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I
