Recall how fixed internet works during blackouts.

PON is an energy-efficient technology for connecting a fixed Internet using a passive optical line that does not have additional nodes with equipment in its path. If the equipment at the provider’s site and the user’s router are powered, the Internet will be available.

ADSL - development of the previous generation. The digital signal is transmitted over an analog copper telephone line. Widely used by Ukrtelecom, migrating to the optical network over the past few years. Works during power outages, if the subscriber's special modem and Wi-Fi router are healed from a backup source.

FTTB / FTTH - technologies for broadband fiber optic Internet access, provide high speed. Depending on the configuration, additional nodes are required to power the signal from the provider to the consumer. The connection may not work during a power outage if the provider has not provided backup power for all equipment.

According to the profile association Internet Association of Ukraine, more than 6,000 fixed Internet providers operate on the Ukrainian market. The lion's share of players are small and medium-sized local companies.
