Vumatel fiber losing connection during load shedding

My fiber connection keeps on dropping about 1h45min into a load shedding stage. I asked my ISP to log a ticket with Vumatel to request an explanation on why it is happening. I was then informed that the ticket was closed by Vumatel with the following: "The generator is not allowed to run in the area, so the POP will drop in less than 2 hours." How is that for service? Why cannot Vumatel then increase the battery capacity in the area if they cannot use a generator?

Hi Vumatel, the issue is still not resolved, I still loses my fiber connection during load shedding. All my network equipment is on a UPS that keeps them powered on. Your end drops during the load shedding session from between 1 hour to 1.5 hours into the load shedding session.
