Just a quick question,

 

An unsubscribed copper POTS "ICE" connection  ( you get disconnected tone when you pick up the handset) allows a 111 call in case of an emergency,

 

Has this provision been carried over to UFB, or does the fibre service have to be subscribed to allow the POTS circuit to be active on the ONT, or will simply powering the ONT give me a similar "disconnected tone" on the POTS

 

edit: spelling

Just a follow up - the ATA ports on the Chorus ONT are activated for the RSP's Viop service not Chorus's - No subscription - no service

 

Its actualy now the same with the copper POTS line - the services on it arn't chorus's but what every providers equipment it connected to - As far as I know its actauly only SPARK and their NEAX that provides an access to the 111 service when the line is deactivated but still connected.
