Ups power supply back up

Hi , me again,  

 

So I managed to resolve my issue with my broadband speed on the hub 4.2, after several visits,  

 

Anyway,  we had a power cut during the weekend and the hub restarted as it would,  and my broadband speed plummeted from 39 Meg to 32 Meg,  I know the DLM must be seeing a fault on the line so the DLM does its job , 

 

So we have a few power cuts where I am so was wondering if it would be a good idea to get a power back up supply for the hub , ups , has anyone tried this and would it cause any issues, 

Also if you have and makes and models that would be helpful.

@Eddy321  Really depends on how long the power cut is going to last and could be longer than what time the UPS gives you.

If someone has helped give them Like.

If you have found this solution helpful please tick this as the answer.

Pricing of UPS units strongly correlates with stored energy (i.e. run time)

 

Note that units designed for computers often don't have regular three pin mains sockets.

 

There are different technologies which also affect price:

Also be aware that all UPS hardware has a finite lifespan because the batteries degrade over time.
