Phones on Fibre

| 1 | A hypothetical. When you get fibre they change the old copper wire phone to one through the fibre internet system. If in future someone no longer wants the internet and cancels their contract with their ISP, what happens to the phone, or is that independent of the ISP? kerryalan - 2021-08-29 15:09:00 |
| 2 | The phone wont work if you cut the fibre off. They used to let you keep the copper phone connection, (and they may still I'm not quite certain of that), BUT it cost you an extra $30 or more per month for that and they ARE trying to retire all use of copper networks. I guess you'd just have to rely on a cellphone if you cut off the Fibre ? If you changed to 'wireless' internet, (this is run thru the celltower 4G signals), then you'd be able to get a 'landline' with some of those plans. nice_lady - 2021-08-29 15:25:00 |
| 3 | VoIP service via fibre refers to the connection of a standard analog phone to an ATA (analog telephone adapter) port on the ONT or router (depends on ISP as to how the service is provisioned). Phone itself is provided by the customer and is typically the same phone that was used with copper unless upgrading to DECT phone in order to provide coverage independent of provisioning the analog phone sockets and internal copper wiring. spyware - 2021-08-29 15:27:00 |

| 5 | When I got fibre installed in February they made a point of telling me they'd used a hybrid cable that included 2 pairs of copper, in case in the future someone wanted a phone, analog alarm or fax machine. This wouldn't need to be provisioned through the same ISP, but would require a tiny bit of wiring to terminate it on the existing internal phone wiring and check it's punched on the roadside.
