i m planning to get a bsnl broadband in bangalore...
we have frequent powercuts and i dont want the BB to go down. i am always online on my laptop which has a battery backup of 5-6 hrs....
is anyone using a power battery backup for BSNL modem. any suggestions.
i dont want to spend 12-18k on an inverter.

thanks

For modem alone, any basic inverter from a local shop should do.
how much do you want to spend max?

not more than 5k .... sud be enough to charge my lappy n also run the modem ....will check a few local chaps ...

@OP sorry for hijack

I also have the same problem. I have power cut at home from 8am so cannot book IRCTC tickets when I need tatkal.

Will a Basic UPS do the job ?

Yes. Get something like Intex 1KVA @Rs.1800. Gives a lot of backup to even PC's so obviously a modem alone wont be able to strain it :wink:

A APC 600 VA at around same price is also enough :wink:
