He should at least connect the ONT box on the wall to your router & test it in situ. Everything else is your responsibility. For this reason EE publish numerous Help guides on how to connect various devices, e.g. Set up your Digital Home Phone serviceSet up and use a Digital Home Phone Adapter 

With Sky you were lucky. It will depend on how amenable the eng. is. That 1 wouldn't have worked for Sky but for OR as would be the 1 you had for EE.

@markrussell1969 Not the Installation Engineers responsibility to do as you needed, but your landline phone will now connect into the back off the Router for the digital connection unless you are using a DVA, also allow 24-48hrs for the phone connection to switch over from copper to fibre!

Broadband equipment is actually designed to be self installed nayway & is mainly plug & play which is why no engineer is assigned to do it
