I think the conversion is done in the cabinet. I think the HMG 
involvement is with regard to avoiding confusing users who depend on the 
landline for emergencies and won't understand concepts like UPS's, or 
the need to provide power for a hub, and find space for it.  It is a 
service for over 70's and vulnerable users.

Just beware if you get broadband via Openreach, but not from a BT owned 
ISP.  Their propaganda didn't mention that they were going to cease my 
broadband when they switched me over.
