It's not obvious from the MyRepublic website how the voice service is implemented, and I don't see a support section or similar.

I'm guessing it's not VoIP via router, since the offered ASUS router doesn't have VoIP support.

So is it copper? Or is it being offered via the ONT?

If I had to guess it would be ONT since the FAQ mentions needing a technician to wire up the jackpoints.

We don't make a big deal about it because 99% of people don't care where it's plugged in, just that it works.  We use the ONT.  Seemed the simplest, easiest, best way for the users to get the service.  Also allows re-wiring the existing copper phone wiring to the ONT, rather than the POTS network, making all existing jackpoints in the house work (some limitations apply).

I'm curious why it matters.  Do people prefer the ONT, or are not wanting to use the ONT?
