ADSL and FTTC Networking

Hello,

I plan to have 2 x broadband services to my property

1 (Main) - Fibre Optic (BT Infinity 2) 76/20
2 (Secondary/1st Backup) - ADSL+ (Be*) 21/2.4
3 (2nd Backup) - 3G Dongle

I'm not to familiar with Dual-WAN routers so after a few suggestions and some time looking into them, i think i'm going to go with either DrayTek Vigor 2850n or 2850Vn. Judging by babis3g previous post this model router will be able to handle the FTTC speed i can get in my area. What I don't fully understand is how i set up the 2 broadband services to the router...

My understanding is that, I plug in both DSL (RJ11) cable from the socket into the dual DSL adapter that comes with the router and then the adapter goes into the VDSL/ADSL port on the router? If this is right will both broadband's sharing the same port effect throughput?

Do i need to use the Openreach Modem for BT Infinity?

During my research i came across this DrayTek Vigor 120 Do i need it?

Thanks in advance
