[LINK] NBN & POTS

[David Lochrin]

I have just set up an FTTN modem, etc. for a friend who is a Telstra customer.  She was sent a pre-configured modem and duly emailed to confirm the service was ready, setup was straightforward, and everything worked straight away.

However the POTS service continued to be available right up to the time I switched on the modem, and there was no background VDSL noise.  Can any Linker please explain how can this be so?  There's obviously something I don't understand about FTTN!

Cheers,
