   When I arranged a new FTTH connection for a friend. I put the main   
   connection, the ONT in her main bedroom. I didn't do it because I   
   expected her to have one phone by her bed, but because it offered a   
   clean run of cable to the front of the house, a nice cupboard to hide it   
   away in, and simple access to the loft through which I could run   
   ethernet cable to the rest of the house.   
      
   I left the single phone connection in the cupboard, a DECT wireless   
   device which covered the whole house.   
      
   I've used DECT/wireless/mobile for phones for two or three decades, do   
   other people still just have wired phones in their living room?
