EE Broadband and BT landline

[dorislc4]

I currently have no broadband as it is not available in my road due to rural area, I do however have a BT landline.

A new fibre line has been installed recently and is coming online shortly and am looking to get broadband. I am one who likes to limit WiFi exposure and like to turn off my previous hubs at night. With the BT Smart Hub 2, the landline goes through the hub and does not enable hub to be switched off.

If I go with Fibre broadband only with EE, do I keep my current landline setup with the hub separate which would allow me to switch off the hub at night and still have a working landline????

Thanks folks.

Thanks. Can I not get FTTP? As the new fibre line comes right past and up
the pole opposite the house??

Yes, you can get FTTP from EE but you would need to keep your BT landline if you want a landline. You can't get a landline from EE with FTTP. It's my 1.a. above.

I have a landline that was BT it is now attached to the Router etc and works fine and I pay EE for the line rental and a call quota on top of the BB charges.
I wonder what would happen if I decided to go to Sky?

@Richardb500 : I believe Sky also do DV on their own router.

@Richardb500 Can confirm 100% what @XRaySpeX has said, but please do look on the Sky forum in particular called the orange light of death for voice, but not so sure how the Sky Max router is now settling in and doing...
