I currently have Optus Cable (naked) connected to my premises with the phone connected via a voice service provider over the internet. There is no active copper pair phone cable, and the existing phone cable has been rewired to connect the current modem/router to existing outlets. I have been advised that I am to be connected to the NBN via FTTC and require a phone outlet for the modem to be connected to.
