I find this hysterical, so please bear with.
Other half has always had her copper PSTN via Virgin/NTL.
When work offered to install Openreach FTTP I took it and cancelled the Virgin Broadband and TV.
So the other half gets contacted to get her PSTN line upgraded.
Virgin engineer turns up at 3PM, asks do you have a Hub, no we sent that back.
Cue puzzled look on his face.
Installs new Hub, phone line is now connected to phone 1 of the Hub, no other services, sits down and waits 30 minutes for Hub to activate, waits 15 more minutes for number to port to Hub.
All done, all tested, leaves.
Hub was left with WiFi active, default password, and no other services.
I've disabled the WiFi, I may try swapping it to Modem mode to see if the phone line still works, set a password.
What a fantastic waste of power for the consumer just to have a landline, which will not work if there is a power cut.
