IIRC BT has been preparing to switch its entire network to VOIP for years now. In previously reading about this I got the impression that there would be no change necessary to customer equipment as it was all about how the call data was handled once it got to the telephone exchange. If they are going to force voip equipment into subscriber homes I would imagine they would be installing something near the master socket that’s not unlike the fixed Openreach wall box you get if you take a FTTC product.
