Nepal Telecom has been replacing traditional copper wires with FTTH (Fiber To Home) Service and has been providing voice and data services over the fiber. Though Fiber is better than copper wires, the telephone line becomes nonfunctional when there is no electricity. The company tries to resolve this drawback of changing from traditional copper wire to Fiber cable with this recommendation of backup power for Ntc FTTH CPE.
NTC has also decided to provide Television (IPTV) service as well over the same fiber in the near future. This is the reason why there has been a substantial increase in the popularity of this FTTH service.
During the time of power cut off, voice service with landline phones connected with the FTTH also gets interrupted together with the internet service. But in the case of traditional copper wire, you will not find disruption of telephone line due to electricity supply.
So, this is the reason why most of the users get annoyed as they are unable to use the voice service with fiber, during the time of load-shedding/electricity cut. Some of the people also find it troublesome to actually switch from their existing copper cable to fiber. But small solution resolves the issue at a very reasonable cost.
