ᐅ Is a telephone connection box still required?

Hello.
Our builder told us that a TAE socket is no longer required. Modern routers like the FritzBox should be connected differently to get Internet access. As I understand it, a Cat cable is connected directly to the telephone main line, which then goes into the router (FritzBox works)... Could you please clarify what he means by this and if it is really the case?
Thank you.

Why would anyone still want to have this unnecessary box hanging around today?
Legally, the telecom company does not consider it unnecessary and installs it.

So, my main distribution board (APL) wasn’t sealed or anything like that. So why should I leave it hanging? Who does it bother, and what is the technical difference?

In case of a fault, fiddling around when testing the line is unhelpful. Defined handover points are useful here.

However, if the client provides a proper Western socket right next to the main connection point, it has indeed happened that the telecommunications technician gladly uses this instead of insisting on installing their own standard connection socket.

In 2017, the telecom technician sub (who was hired by the local network provider after we requested DSL here) labeled the existing TAE socket in the old building with a cryptic tag and recorded this socket number in the telecom provider’s system. What a hassle.

I need to ask something here as well...
I’m still familiar with connecting the classic TAE socket and router,
but if you install Cat sockets in other rooms, where do the cables run to and how do you connect them? They must somehow reach the Fritzbox, right? Please explain this a bit more detailed and in simple terms.

I don’t really understand your question. For the home network LAN, a star topology is usually used, with cables running from each room to the connection room where the DSL outlet (the router) is located.
