ᐅ Is a TAE socket still required nowadays?

Hello everyone!

Is a TAE socket still necessary nowadays? We won’t be getting a landline phone. Who even calls on those anymore?!

Is the socket needed for anything else?

No, everything can be set up over LAN nowadays – including the phone connection. I haven’t had one for many years (actually no landline phone for 2 years now).

And we don’t need this socket for the fiber optic connection from the telecom provider either, right?

So unnecessary and can be better replaced with a network socket! Thanks to all of you!

Nope

A TAE socket is still required today as the termination point for the "last mile" when the connection to the house is made via copper wiring. In the case of fiber optic installation, it becomes obsolete. Future fixed-line connections will no longer rely on physical cables but rather on accounts delivered through the internet connection into the home: with internet telephony, a virtual channel occupies a session where, in a traditional TDM telephone network, a physical line would have been "occupied." This means a telephony service provider no longer needs a dedicated "line" but simply uses an existing, assumed network access. This is also terminated in fiber optic setups, but no longer via a TAE socket.
