Digital Voice and Fibre to Property

[PhoneEnvy]

I have received information about Digital Voice. I use BT Broadband and have a landline, which are both using Fibre to the house.  My question is, is the switch over to Digital Voice necessary when Fibre is already available at our property.

your current phone connection to the ONT providing FVA is terminating and being replace by Digital Voice

I am sorry but I don't understand the terms you are using - ONT and FVA?

ONT is the fibre modem.  FVA is Fibre Voice Access, a now defunct system that Openreach used for early voice over the fibre.

FVA setup looks something like this:

Thank for the replies and explanations.

I was interested to find out if my landline would continue to work at switchover or not, if I did nothing.  The BT engineer I spoke to did not know.
