A couple of years ago I did lot of looking up stuff about the changeover.
So I'm re-visiting...

The Broad band connection from the ONT to the router is (Here) now quite 
straightforward, and ready to go (Just have to terminate the cable both
ends.
Obviously I'll need to swot up on the router settings required.


The phone system is another ball game... A nightmare I've just been
re-visiting...  :-/

And to be honest, I'm just confused by most of what I've read...

So can I please get some advice on what I perceive?

Simplest answer seems to be get a VOIP phone at the changeover time
that'll be connected to a router port?

However, at the moment I have a BT 6500 base station with couple of
handsets which works okay all over the house, and even into my workshop in
the back garden. (It has its own power socket)

Would it still function if I connected it to an ATA that would obviously
be connected to a router port?

I'm assuming, when the changeover happens our existing BT phone account
would become defunct whatever method used, so  we would still need a new
VOIP account?

BT or third party for the VOIP account?

Thanks
Dave


Nb: I also read something about, disconnecting the old external line in
the old BT Master socket, and plugging the existing house line into the
ATA?
