I am in the process of upgrading to full fibre broadband without a landline as no-one called me on it nowadays as I use my mobile for phone calls. The engineer removed the old copper cables and replaced it with fibre. He then rang Openreach to activate the line but they couldn't do it for another 24 hours as there is a problem at the exchange. This turned into 10 days and counting.
Meanwhile I'm bending my providers ear as my EV charger is connected to the internet along with my alarm system and smart light bulbs until they agree to reinstall the old phone line as I was still covered by my old contract. I came back online yesterday after nearly a week with no internet as the engineer reconnected my service which is why I haven't been on the forum for the last 6 days.
So if you are thinking of going full fibre don't let them remove your old phone line until the fibre is up and running.
