Surely most customers, at least domestic and small business, will
require a landline for Internet connection,

We have Virgin fibre, and no landline.

Well, yes, but that is still a landline, whether it is copper, fibre or
whatever.

No there isnt. There is just a data service with voip over
that with fibre and that voice service is entirely optional.

Presumably you have to pay for the fibre to be there, whether or not you
make phone calls or access the Internet.

Yes, but there doesn't have to be any voice service on it
if for example you prefer to use your mobile for all calls.
