I have a landline phone but had wanted it put into my hallway as my router leads aren't long enough to put router in hall. Is there anyway I could get round this?
I hate that I'm not able to plug into an old fashioned phone socket and find if internet went down there'd be no way of using landline.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@jane00 you can buy extention phone cables from most hardware stores. The switch from delivering voice services away from over the old copper lines to via your router is being driven by Openreach who are planning to decommission the old copper network and replace it with full fibre. That will take years but stopping selling copper phone connections is one part of this switch.

Thank you for replie. Would you know what type of cable I need in order to keep my landline phone in hallway?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@jane00 can alternative might be to invest in a cordless DECT phone (they're reasonably inexpensive) which has a base station that plugs into the Hub, and a cord free handset that you can place where you want.

Would be the easiest option I guess but was still hoping to be able to use my old retro landline telephone.
