just being a pensioner does not qualify for BBU and you also have a mobile signal. in emergency you can call 999 on mobile and use best mobile signal in your are which may not be EE

How often do you get a power cut? If you get lots, then complain to your electricity supplier.

Do you have FTTC or FTTP?

If you have FTTP, then how close is the home hub to the ONT?

my bt hub. Had to reset my bt digital phone . SSE doing some work on monday

cutting trees back, might solve the issue.

As the two units are close together, then a mains UPS would probably be the best option, as you can plug up to four items which could include ONT, Home Hub, and possibly phone base unit.

Look on Amazon for

CYBERPOWER BR700ELCD-UK Line-Interactive UPS 700VA/420W AVR

GreenPower Energy Saving Technology LCD USB UK Outlet type, Black

About £90, so not much more that a single unit from BT which you would need two of.
