On cable recently and landline not working. Can landline be discarded now?

So, recently transferred to cable. Landline no longer working. Is it obsolete now? Or has it not been reconnected?

Do you mean fibre? If so, your phone should work correctly if it's plugged into your broadband Hub. It won't work from a wall socket.

That makes sense. Not technically minded and no-one from Open Reach explained. Do I still need the micro filter please? @Mark39

@atalaya no, you don't need a microfilter. Just plug your phone straight into the socket at the back of the Hub.
