    What happens for those who don't want / need a fibre internet connection - but DO want a phone line ?
    Will the system cope with that ?
    From my understanding if you have fttc broadband, that will support digital voice/VOIP connections, ok.  EE have a phone handset with 4G backup sim system (if the broadband goes down), maybe they'll just do a standalone system with that if people don't want internet with their phone package.

    Thanks - at what cost ?
