Your conventional all-copper-wire-to-the-Central-Office phone will
fail exactly in the same way. What do you think powers them during an
"extended electrical outage"??

Your POTS phone doesn't need any power from your home. it is powered from the
phone company.

The central office has heavy duty battery backup and generators. And the
neighbourhood nodes have batteries and the telco then rotates portable
generators to recharge those batteries. problems occur when you have a truly
widespread outage where the telco doesn't have enough portable generators to
move around to recharge all neighbourhood nodes.

The solution is to use the telco's copper as a power source to power the fibre
link and one phone. This way you benefit from the telco's UPS systems and
don't need your own.
