Thanks for sharing xd. We had our share of problems initially, but now pretty stabilized with hardly any downtime.

What happens with your network when the power goes down in your area, do you lose connectivity to the outside world?

Also, I just realised that I may have come across as a bit patronising! That wasn't the intention, I was just relating to what can be done with a lack of resources and a bit of ingenuity :)

We have Eaton online UPS, which as of now can provide 4 hours of power backup. We've also got 3KVA power generator which runs on fuel, used only in event when power failure is for longer durations and UPS batteries need to be re-charged. Pretty common here.
