No voice phone now without electricity, even though the fibre is passive (clue in name GPON).
So indeed my fibre modem (replaces 10.4GHz radio link and cable modem), router, managed switch and DECT cordless phone is on another UPS.
Curiously I found the workstation boots much faster when "BIOS" setting "automatic boot with AC on" (or some such). So after OS shutdown I leave screen on and tap On/Off button on UPS. Then to boot I tap the UPS button.
I'm considering half a dozen solar panels on shed roof, cheap 24V camping inverters and cheap car batteries as it would be for back-up more than reducing billing (which takes years to payback) or "selling" to grid which is about x5 more expensive to get installed (fancier electronics and only approved installer). I'll see if anyone invades anyone else?
