Since the days of ntl I’ve always had home phone using the bt style phone socket, about 2 years ago I cancelled phone and tv and just had BB after.

Iv recently decided to go back to phone & tv (now oomph package) and have now noticed the phone option via hub 3 is now active whereas it’s never been active in the past! So my question is.. Is the call quality better via hub vs rj11 phone socket??.

Hello

The only difference between the 2 is one is digital and other is analog, I have not myself noticed any difference in the quality of calls between the old twisted pair and the hub, by the end of 2025 all suppliers will have moved over to a similar system often called 21CV, in fact currently Vrginmedia are no longer do new installs with twisted pair unless you are in a rural area with little or no mobile coverage.

Logically a digital system would be better than an analog system.
