Our old Victorian house has a cottage connected by 30m of underground  copper cabling to the main house. We don't want to lose the working POTS telephone extensions in the cottage when the main house is connected by fibre to the UFB network.

 

Besides Spark, MyRepublic & WorldNet, does anyone know of other ISPs that provision voice on the Analogue Telephone Adapter (ATA) present on each ONT rather than on a modem?

 

I'd be particularly interested in hearing about ISPs that provide unlimited national calling (such as Flip - who don't offer fibre, unfortunately).

 

The houses are in Nelson.

You don't need voice to be provisioned on the ONT. As long as voice is provided out of a twisted pair outlet somewhere (ONT, router, or ATA), you can connect your cottage fine. Just plug the ONT, router or ATA back into a voice socket (making sure to disconnect the Chorus copper first) and that will liven up all the sockets in the house and cottage.

 

The only kind of voice services that won't work would be ones that are delivered over an app, such as Stuff.
