Usually good advice but if a user is staying with BT/EE Digital voice then 
they need to use the supplied router for the Digital voice part.

This is the same for providers like Sky as well, though some do provide a 
less restrictive set up.

Of course you can still piggy back a second router off the service but it 
is adding another layer of complexity but that is OK if you are suitably 
technically knowledgable.

Also if you migrate the phone service to a third party VOIP provider then 
you do what you want again subject to any restrictions that service puts 
on the way it is set up.
