I recently watched your video and noticed that you have installed battery backups for the ONT and BT Router. However, it seems unnecessary to have backup power for these devices, as losing power would also affect the functionality of any connected PCs. If you were using a laptop, it would make more sense, but since you are in a domestic house, it may not be essential. I initially thought you had servers and PCs for website uploads, but in a domestic house, this may not be necessary. Ultimately, it's your choice, but personally, I would be more concerned about my refrigerator defrosting in a power outage. Most people tend to focus on when the power will come back on, so their food doesn't spoil. It doesn't seem practical to have battery backups for the BT router and ONT in a domestic house. However, if you were running a business with website services, it would be more understandable.

We have had many great trips there as a kid. Still visit occasionally for food however our family business is now set in carnforth so no longer our holiday destination of choice with work around the corner! Glad you had a great time

Oh you're using digital voice please please please don't let them install an EE smart hub plus as the digital voice on fttp is bugged and rarely works.

I used to give them away free when i worked at EE. £84,99 each now.. and it's 4 times every scond

VERY VERY BOORING

Another great Rob and Gail production! Your hard work pays off! A great video. Emily

Hi Rob and Gail Sheila and I stayed on this beautiful site Unfortunately don’t know when I can get our caravan out again just got out of hospital due to cancer operation

Hello. Great video! What about your landline though? It seems to be cordless and I can’t help but thinking that of the power is cut the actual landline handset can’t communicate to the base (ie… not making calls) do you have a standard landline on hand to use? Thanks 😊

Wow that's just up the road from us. If you go there again, let us know.

another great video it's another one to go on the list . 👍

looks like a nice site we will put on our list . keep them coming Rob and Gail

Hi Rob & Gail,another lovely site and a great video.

thats Bailey told

Hi Rob & Gail another beautiful site and lovely places to visit. Spot On 😁👍

great video again, we were there couple of years ago and they had a visiting breakfast van saturdays and sundays and they did GF too

Hi Rob &Gail, love watching your videos so informative about the area and the campsites. By the way thanks for fixing that tap we are on pitch 42 right now.😀

I think this is very informative, nice one Rob...the curtains kept me watching 😂 . I'm still a little conflicted about the proposed complete dropping of a copper based landline, but we do want those faster speeds and it's just not possible (as far as I know). There are situations, like some people I know (that are full fibre), that can only get a mobile signal via wifi. If there is a powercut, no matter how good their own UPS is, the cabinets don't have much battery storage. So in their case, they have neither a mobile signal or a landline in an emergency. Has to be said, it's a very small proportion of people in that situation...I hope! A decent amount of the population don't know what a landline is, and the number of people that do know, are gradually going to decrease. Doesn't effect me at all, but I still feel for them all the same. As some have said, yes Cat 7 is a significant future proof and it's something only used in very rare specific situations (regret I can't say what they are). But like you say, you wanted to give it a go and why not sir! Personally I have 10G and 1G fibre throughout property and outbuilding with cat6 for redundancy, all 2 feet underground - lower power and not electrically conductive. Far from convenient though as pre terminated cables are needed, unless you have thousands of pounds for a splice machine. All the best to you!

Gr8 video thank you,I’m from Wisbech so was nice to see local areas,hope you enjoyed your visit,take care

Great review, and thank you for the shout out! A very informative video, as usual! Hope you enjoyed the Austrian lager!

Hi Rob and Gail, another very good vidio. Keep well, look after yourself.

Many. Thanks Rob. Your shower is definitely stronger than ours so I suspect our choice of shower head might have something to do with it, as our taps look about the same. Our original Coachman shower head cracked within the first two uses! Possibly worth paying for the EcoCamel offering after all? Much appreciate your assistance.

Becuase the BT Hub has plastic around the ethernet ports, you won't ge any benefit of using FTP ethernet cables as needs to have metal ethernet on both sides and grounded accordingly to 'clean earth'. Which may need a dedicated earth ground rod

Another informative video but couldn’t help noticing that you appear to have a leak on your shower head, probably an easy fix required like doubling up on the washers. Keep up the good work

Interesting and once more the YT algorithm strikes we watch you via my wife’s YT feed - FF we’ve got coming next week via EE after years with BT (i went online in 93 with 56k and it’s been a uphill upgrade ever since) - my question is is when you considered the fibre was it a fully serviced pitch to swing you over?

Oh dear, lot of places closed! Some nice gardens though

Excellent video Rob. What a lovely place it is indeed. We go 3 times a year when the kids are on school holidays. October half tern, over New Year and February half term. Weve just returned last Sunday. We love the facilities there as well as being in such a nice area. Also when the schools are on holiday most if not all of those pitches are full. Fabulous place.

Hi Rob & Gail fab video as always, you never fail!!! Absolutely brilliant, looks a good site. Keep up the good work from Fiona, Steve, Beki and mike 👍👍

Perhaps get a battery backup for the hub which has 240V sockets if you rely on cordless phones🤔 You can then plug the hub and your cordless phone base station PSUs into that together. Won’t last as long as the BT unit but 🤞 the power will be back before the battery runs out. Indeed I used such a system in the past.

Hi Rob & Gail always look forward to your videos lovely site & great informative places of intrest around thanks for great ideas throughout this year 🎉

hi rob and gail i love watching your videos,they full of information,from site reviews,places to vist,the history,and how to fix broken taps,brilliant keep up the great work you both do

What a fabulous site! Great and informative video as always. Thanks both :). Ian

Hi Rob & Gail Excellent review you will have to review our new 2025 Club house Lounge offering local produce and drinks. Also you will have to try our award-winning Fish chips homemade Tatar sauce and the amazing authentic Thi chef ladies cuisine delicious. Kind regards Stewart

Hi Rob and Gail - the site looks immaculately kept and great vlog again- let me know if you fancy upgrading your Q7 as selling mine in early Feb

We were there in July! Ships that pass in the night! We were on pitch 43. Did you get any flypasts during your visit? I wonder why we don't carve beautiful architecture anymore?

Hello Rob & Gail, Great video again. We love that you highlight points of interest. The site looks great and one to pop on our list for future. Our caravan is undergoing warranty work which has taken 3 weeks so far.!!! Can’t wait to get it back and get back on the road again. Take care see you in the next one. Janet & Andrew 😊

Good evening rob n Gail, hope you keeping well, I've actually been to Delph bank many years ago. Very quiet at the time for a May bank holiday. I think it may have changed ownership since we were there , as no shop or glamping.so nice to see that now. I know I said I'd do a blog on Sutton on sea ,but my mobile isn't suitable what I have presently 🤔but Al try do a short utube when we're there again shortly. As always we love your brilliant presentation of your blogs. Thanks again ❤

Great video as always! Cup of tea and relax and enjoy, thank you! 👍😃

As always, it's a lovely video. I don't know a lot about this area. There's lots of history and fabulous buildings by the look of things. The site looks very nice. I bet it gets booked up quickly. I'm glad you both had a lovely time. Happy Travels 😊 Morag

Full whole house Victron ESS battery system here. Keeps the whole house powered for about 3 days (More if we cut back on high usage devices) - Not sure why you installed Cat7; are you using some serious data networking that needs the speed? - I get the personal choice element, but boy did you spend a lot to do it. Worth mentioning to your viewers that CAT5 is perfectly adequate for the average domestic house; inc yours since your fibre speed is less than half CAT5 rated speed. Equally, the data rate over distance specifications you mentioned are indeed correct, however that is far less important if the distances are much shorter, such as the link from the ONT to the router which is typically less than 1m - at that range lose thin wires would probably suffice... lol Also, real shame those Cyberpower UPS's are lead acid based; the battery will last about 2 years being held at 100% all the time; LiFeP04 based alternatives are now available for double the usable capacity for the same size and will last well over 10 years with only a 20% drop in capacity. I guess the public at large are not ready for Lithium in the home, not even the safe LFP kind...

Great video yet again, thank you Rob and Gail. I’m only half an hour up the road and I didn’t know half of these houses and churches existed 🤦🏼‍♀️ *slaps wrist! 🤣

Thanks Rob & Gail for another informative video and a lovely looking site & area to add to the "to do list" for next year, look forward to the next video 😀

Another great video. I lived in Weston (between Spalding and Holbeach) so nice to see familiar sights.

Hi Rob & Gail, always the most informative site reviews and this one is no exception. Thank you for the mention. Some great history in these fenland market towns, pity the church was closed, would have loved to have seen you climb the tower 😂. Thanks for the tour. Best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍

We live near Spalding 😊 ps its pronounced Crow land, not Croy land 😊

Another great and informative Vlog Rob and Gail. Weather looked amazing. Hope you’re planning to get another stay in before close of season as we really love to watch your videos. I’ve never known 28:55 second go so quickly. Fabulous video, thank you for posting yet another cracker.

Hi Rob and Gail Great video really enjoyed watching Lovely site have added it to our list of must go Quick question Do you eat out of an evening or do you cook a meal in the caravan We cook a lot in the motorhome a few meals I prepare at home like a cottage pie or a curry and freeze it makes it a bit easier if you want a quick meal one evening if you’ve had a busy day We have done a Sunday roast with all the trimmings before now

Hi Rob and Gail 😊. Lovely vlog of an area we've not really visited. There seems to be plenty to do and see. The site itself looks immaculate. Almost as good as Gail's matching tops earrings and necklaces 👍. Love how you always have a tool to sort out tap issues, but did we notice a leak from your shower pipe connection 🤔. Can we ask why you don't ever use non serviced pitches, as you maybe missing out on some great sites. Looking forward to the next vlog. Take care and travel safe as always ✨️. Paul and Joanne 👍 😍

Really informative and we only found you as we'd been to Depth Bank about 16 years ago and thought we'd take a quick look. Really has changed but still immaculate. Thanks for taking us on your trips too. Just subscribed. 🙂

Hi Rob and Gail that's a very nice site and well made film 👍 not seen the wash from that side before, wish you wouldn't keep showing us your garage though as it's putting mine to shame 😃 all the best Glyn and Carol Ps liked the beer on tap

Hi Rob and Gail. Looks a lovely site. Hey Rob did you get a discount for fixing the leaking tap?😅 Thank you for the great tour of our neck of the woods. Never seen Wisbech like that usually just drive through it. Think we might do Delph Bank next year. After all part of it is my name.😂 Thanks again you lovely couple. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete and Su....
