Landlines are just apps on our phones. Shout out to Acrobits as the clear and superior winner on VoIP smartphone apps by a country mile 😎🤣

Which begs the question, why have them at all?

Is that rhetorical or do you really want an answer? So hard to tell on the inter webs 😅

It's depend on your router chipset. Also depend on your FTTC stats eg: noise margin, line attenuation, G.INP, high or low rtx.

Mine is Zyxel Router which it support both G.fast and Vdsl2 (broadcom chipset)

What does BTw IP Profile say on your line here: https://speedtest.btwholesale.com by going to Additional Diagnostic as it should be on 77.35Mbps with throughput speed around 74Mbps

That's a very good line stats, you are more closer to the FTTC cabinet.

That exception bit means "by exception". As in, if you can get FTTP and are in a fibre priority area but there are ECCs that you don't want to/cannot pay, your ISP can request that SoGEA is opened up on the checkers for you to order.

annoyingy, i cannot even see possible upgrades without calling.

It could just be an error showing SoGEA 40/10

If your are really is a copper stop sell, and your property does have FTTP available to order, then you should not be able to order copper at all. (It is possible to raise exception orders but they are in very narrowly-defined circumstances)

In any case, why would you choose SoGEA 80/20 when FTTP 80/20 is available? The latter is more reliable, and gives you 100% of the speed you paid for (no dynamic speed adjustment to cope with long or bad lines).
