A Battery Backup Unit (BBU) is not necessary for your Summit Broadband service to work as long as there is electrical power to your home. You may purchase a new or replacement BBU for your Optical Network Terminal (ONT), which will provide several hours of dial tone for your home phone service in the event of a power outage.
NOTE: In the event of a power outage, the BBU will not provide TV or Internet service; its only purpose is to provide emergency power for phone service in the event of a power outage.
