Rewiring of telephone line for cable/VoIP service users
If you have changed to cable/VoIP service through a modem/router/terminal
adapter to establish telephone connection, the existing telephone jacks in your
home may no longer work. Your cable/VoIP service provider uses a separate cable
connecting from the main line to the modem installed in your home.
To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, rewiring of the telephone line (as
indicated by the dotted line in the illustration below) may be needed. Rewiring
requires professional installation (fees may apply). Contact your cable/VoIP service
provider for more information.
