Hi,
I currently have broadband only with VM but may be interested in a phone line in the future.
From what I've read on other forum posts and elsewhere it appears that most new phone "lines" will use the VM hub phone ports (i.e. something similar to VOIP) instead of the copper landline that comes in alongside the coaxial line for the broadband/TV, though I've also read that is only happening in certain areas.
I do have a VM master socket in the house, however it is located in a somewhat inconvenient location in my house. If I were to use it for a phone line I would need to use an extension kit to add a box to the other room (or otherwise get VM to move it). Not impossible but an inconvenience.
I'd like some clarification on whether I would use the hub ports or the master socket for a future phone line, so I can plan in advance. Note that I use the hub in "modem mode" with a third-party router - not sure if that disables the VOIP ports.
Also, if the VM master socket is redundant, can it be removed?
Thanks,
Alex
