Is a TAE socket still needed nowadays?

Hello everyone!

Do you still need a TAE socket nowadays? We don’t get a home telephone. Who even calls on that?!

Do you need the socket for anything else?

No, everything can be done via LAN nowadays - so you can also connect the phone. I haven't had one for many years (actually no landline phone for 2 years).

And for the fiber optic connection from Telekom, we don't need this socket either, right?

So redundant and can better be replaced with a network socket! Thank you all!

And for the Telekom fiber optic connection we also do not need this socket, right?

nope

A TAE socket is still required today as the termination of the "last mile," as long as this comes into the house via copper. In the case of a fiber optic installation, it is obsolete in this regard. Future fixed-line connections will no longer be implemented bound to cables but rather to accounts, which in turn come into the house via the internet connection: in internet telephony, a virtual channel occupies a session, whereas in the TDM telephone network a physical line was "occupied." That means a telephony service provider no longer needs a dedicated "line," but simply uses an existing assumed Network Access. This is of course also terminated in fiber optics, but no longer via TAE.
