Can someone please recommend a good provider for baseband telephone service (ie where an analog phone the plugs directly into a DSL splitter) and ADSL.  A lot of the providers seem to be pulling out of this market.

 

(The reason that I ask is that our neighbour is shopping around for a better deal on power, telephone and broadband. The only broadband/phone options in the area are ADSL and sat. . The local ADSL is congested, and several people have had problems when they swapped to a provider that used a VoIP modem. Eg calls dropped, missed calls, poor voice quality, muting)

 

Any recommendations appreciated.

POTs or ISAM-V?

Thanks @myfullflavour.  Is it typically "baseband Ip"  (ISAMV card) for rural locations now?  (Which looks exactly like POTS to the customer I assume). 

 

Getting a telephone service is so complicated now...😬

Typically ISAMV, but as far as the customer is concerned it's just a traditional analog phone.

We're seeing more requests for Copper Landline now that Spark has accelerated the shutdown process. Most customers are unaware they can simply change their provider to continue receiving copper broadband-only or copper broadband & phone service.

They can't if they are in a Specified Fibre Area (SFA). From June 1 - Once the NEAX goes its Fibre or FWA in non SFA its simply a case of changing RSP,

 

Most RSPs don't want to deal with BBIP they just want to sell voice off their RGW or ONT

Yeah I’m specially referring to rural non-fibre areas.
