Incidentally, this subject was discussed on a BBC programme this morning. Somewhere in Wales there was a village that half of it was converted to the new system quite early. People were surprised when the phones didn't work in a power cut, though as I've said before most people only have cordless phones which die anyway in a power cut.

The photo I added a few posts ago shows the UPS and FTTC VDSL modem. The two cordless base stations are also supplied from this. The router and NAS have another upstairs, and there's a third UPS looking after a couple of other Synology servers.
