I've recently been curious about how this works and if anyone has any experience of it.
Providers are seemingly moving in the direction of supplying FTTP Internet and having the router handle some kind of VoIP connection inside the router and pushing it out in the format of standard phone signals any dumb phone can understand.
I believe the typical setup is the Fibre Cable --> an ONT --> provider router --> phone port to dumb phone.
My question is how it works when a consumer wants to use their own router?
Obviously they can just use their PPPoE username and password but how does it work with the telephone services?
Are providers giving out the VLAN IDs and other information necessary for the phone service to work or is it a case of if you use your own router they refuse to provide service on the phone.
When abroad I see how some other providers do it - their own router has 3 VLAN IDs - one for each of the internet, IPTV and the phone. Whilst not recommended you can configure it so that you can still access the services with your own router.
It's still quite new and I guess not many people have it. I've just not seen much mention of this issue that's being introduced.
