Time for the ADSL -> VDSL stage of jevvv's internet novel

So our broadband is working, but it's time to move to VDSL.

We've signed up with Slingshot.

They're sending me one of their modems: because their techs are trained how to trouble shoot their modem.

They've said I can use mine (DrayTek Vigor130 VDSL2/ADSL2+ modem) but if I need tech support I'll need to swap it out and use theirs.

That makes sense so far.

We're also getting home phone line through them.

Here's where it gets squiffy: they said (after sign up) that all I need to do is plug our house phone into the back of the modem, because the phone line comes in via the VDSL link then splits at the modem. I kinda understand that.- my issue is that our modem is in a service room in the basement, with 6 inches of solid concrete for all 4 walls and ceiling, so the cordless phones won't pick up from the base unit.

Is there a way to run the phone output from the back of the modem to the phone point distribution thingy?

And because you all need a picture, this is the current setup in the data/phone box thingy that distributes them
