Switch to Community Fibre and use Premitel for voip?
Hi, I want to maintain a landline just for incoming calls from elderlies (no outgoing.) This being so it's not worth paying for the Community Fibre calls-included voip package, and I wonder if it's possible to use an independent voip provider with Community Fibre, either by using the CF router, or another router? Thank you.

What is your experience with Three 5G home broadband?
I live in an area that says it has good outdoor and indoor coverage and my home is 350metres from the nearest tower, but none of my windows actually face the tower directly so the signal would have to penetrate a couple of homes before it reaches my router.
