This is a bit like the email provider scenario. Many here will recommend separating their email accounts from their ISP. I would suggest the same advice should apply to landlines (for those that need them).
I'd agree.
Watch out also for ISP's selling you VoIP (SiP) packages as part of their bundle that it subsequently transpires can only be run over their routers, which can often be locked down settings wise (custom firmware) with no bridge/modem only facility to allow you to use your own router or third party VoIP adapter box. There was a recent thread on here where Vodafone came up as a culprit but I'm sure they won't be the only one.

With FTTP you should be able to PPoE into the ONT (modem) box but I'd be inclined to avoid restrictive ISP's at all if you like to have control over your home network (not too much to ask surely...).
It's another read the small print carefully before you commit situation unfortunately.
