Currently I have a Vodafone Ultrahub with a phone line that is connected to the ONT. Is it possible to install the Deco mesh system on another port in the ONT, or will I have to run it off of the ultrahub to keep the phone line.

No, it's not possible to connect to another port on ONT.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Hi you can stand up an interface with vlan10 on it on your chosen router (deco in your case) and connect the ultrahub to that and it will continue to provide ATA service with out being in the traffic flow of the rest of your network.

BUT, the deco is not capable of providing seperate interfaces like that, other more capable routers can as a matter of course.

So for now you cannot remove the ultra hub from Infront of the deco.

Does Vodafone not offer landline via ONT?

Vodafone really need to move to ONT voice, it is ridiculous having to keep the ultrahub in the mix

No they don't, if you want hardware indepdance for a voice circuit, then cancel the voice circuit with voda, seek out a VoIP circuit with the likes of 2talj or Hero, and use whatever hardware and RSP you desire. Don't be tied.

Most Major RSPs (Vocus Brands, Spark, Now) all do ONT based Voice
Appears to be Voyager/Vodafone/2Degrees legacy that are holding onto RGW voice
