You can buy yourself a combined modem router, but they are expensive.

They are as rare as rocking horse droppings at the moment, and what is available is priced at a premium.

But if you buy a VDSL2+ router you don't get given a new one every month or two .

Unless things have changed since my FTTC connection in early June this year, the OR Engineer installed about 10 metres or so of 'Data Cable' at no additional charge. He had a 30 metre cable with him. Can't comment on charges if the installation requires more than this.

It's probably their biggest time consuming cost with the installation, so wouldn't be surprised if they don't start trying to get back the cost with extra charges (hope no one from BT/OR reads this, as they might actually do it!).

What hasn't been mentioned is that you won't have a dangly filter - the engineer will fit a rather bulky filtered faceplate

These filtered faceplates can produce an audible hiss on good quality phones. So you might need a dangly filter to eliminate it, as recently happened to me.

Or the original Pressac filtered faceplates originally used for ADSL Engineer installs - very good quality and do the job better than the new cheap VDSL filters

Make sure the OR Eng mounts your modem on the wall as they get rather hot if left on a flat surface and will burn out. Many people have had more burn out's than not. I'm on my 3rd modem.

were the other two mounted on the wall ?

what spacing are the holes for the modem ?
