That will then be provided by VoIP on a "slow" (500Kbps) FTTP
service. It may be that for voice only users they will provide the
battery backup.

(they probably figure for data users, its a moot point since few of
them will have a UPS to hold up all their other IT kit to actually
benefit from the broadband staying up during a power cut)

Few will have a UPS, indeed. But many will have tablets, laptops,
phones, etc., which have a UPS effectively built-in as they are
battery devices.

Does not help much when your router and wifi is not powered...

I have a small UPS which supplies my FTTC router and modem which gives me
wifi.

Well same here - but I suspect we are in a tiny minority. Also having a
USP you can power the PON terminal as well - so it does not need its own
battery. However for those without a UPS the PON terminal running on its
own is pointless, so ergo, it does not need its own battery.
