Was just about to submit form for fibre installation and came across this issue. 

Currently, the vdsl router/modem is in a bedroom cupboard and phone is in a separate bedroom. I want the ONT to be installed where the router currently is (because I have other places in the house wired via ethernet to that point already) and I want the phone to be where it currently is - in a bedroom.

Will I have to pay extra for the phone to be wired through the roof to the ONT?

Thanks.

There is no issue - at the time of install, as part of the standard Chorus ONT installation, a RJ45 Jack is installed next to the ONT to allow for connection of the ONT's Voice port back to your exitsing house wireing (refered to as legacey wireing) 

- If you are cutting over to Voip during the install then they (the installers) will make the connection/s and disconnect your house wireing from the copper lead in from the exch.

- If you are not cutting over to VOIP during the install then nothing changes on the day of your install but if at a later date you do want to cut over to voip then you will have to pay a fee for a tech to come and do the reconnections
