Thinking of signing up with Telkom/Openserve fibre, can somebody who is on Telkom tell me if the network is active during load shedding, will be running the router/ONT via a UPS or DC power supply.
Cannot get an intelligent answer from Telkom ( even the technical department )

Runs fine for hours. Substation fault left us for 6 hours without electricity and my 200Mbps openserve fibre line was rocking no issues on a 12v battery. The 2 hour loadshedding is nothing too. Openserve works fine.

I have a 100Mbps Openserve fibre line using Vox as my ISP and it runs perfectly off an inverter during loadshedding.

What he said.

Have my ONT and my router running off a UPS during loadshedding and have never had an issue. Openserve fibre works beautifully and I have no complaints with their service.

My Openserve fibre works fine during loadshedding running a generator.
