Already today, we need to prepare for possible winter blackouts as a result of possible racist rocket attacks.
Internet providers are also preparing for possible blackouts and doing everything possible to ensure that Ukrainians have a blackout-resistant Internet.
In case of emergencies, the Ministry of Digital Transformation has prepared a brief instruction on how to have a stable Internet connection even when there is no power.
First of all, check with your internet provider to see if they have switched to energy-saving networks and how long they can provide you with internet. PON is a state-of-the-art technology that allows you to be online without electricity for up to 72 hours. Currently, 2.7 million Ukrainians use the services of such providers.
If the provider’s response does not satisfy you, find the nearest one that provides PON services and apply for a connection. To speed up the process, you can cooperate with your neighbors. You will also need to purchase a power bank for your Wi-Fi router.
