I'm in an SA guild, we're all very sympathetic and understanding :/ If Tim disappears it was either Es/Telkom...
But on the subject, I was assisting a friend in installating their ADSL (from Diginet) and the IT help is in London. Listening to her trying to explain the need for a generator was amusing, these guys in London could not understand the need

get a beeeeeeg extension cord to the next neighbourhood
Depend on the size of the battery anything from 15 minutes to 24 hours
Prob longer aswell but the cost just escalate with duration.
I was looking for one with 400 min time, should last me through a normal raid.

Very True but they say its going to get worse so maybe it is a very good investment
I've suspended my account until Eskom get it half right. Currently, I'm without power half of the day and most of the evening. On Tuesday I was without power for 21 hours!!! I'm seriously starting to go through withdrawals.
Now I have no internet as Telkom are having problems, battery in my electric gate konked as well due to all the load shedding, got a quote for diesel genny to run the house R55k......
time to pack for Perth or maybe the Uk and 50ms.

I bought a Genny for R5000 its a 5.5KVA , I have a lead with a plug on each end, when the power goes out all i do is switch of my mains, plug my genny into a plug socket, start the genny and my whole house lights up.
Rather put that 55k towards shipping to the UK or Perth.
Recent quote I got for a container and shipping + insurance was 75k to the UK/Europe
