Side issue but if you have BT Full Fibre with a ‘landline’ you no longer actually have a landline at all, but a VOIP service delivered via the router and a cordless wifi handset. So it no longer works in a power cut, or if the internet service goes down.
Having said that, if you’re classed as vulnerable they provide you with a battery back-up for the router, so it can do what the telephone exchange used to do and ensure continuity of service in a power cut. And in the event of the fibre broadband going down it switches to 4G.
