Noob question about a "splitter" and the cons of getting it taken out

Hey guys, I apologise if this is in the wrong category, I am a noob here.

A couple of years ago we had some tech guy put a splitter into the phone jack in the office, which as I understand then rendered all the other phone jacks in the house unable to be used for internet connection (this is what the Telecom guy told me). I think this was done so that wireless and cable could both be used. My personal preference is not to use wireless at all (hope this can be respected and focus maintained on the question), so what I want to do is take out the splitter so that (hopefully) I can then use the other phone jacks for internet connection.

I am wondering what cons there are to this besides not being able to use wireless again (which is fine with me). It has been so long since I altered the internet set up I am wondering if taking out the splitter will have any bearing in regards to using phone and internet at the same time? As I say, I am a techie noob, hoping you supreme tech gurus can drop some knowledge about this. It would be most appreciated. Might save me running an unsightly 20m phone line around the house every night.

Also, who would do the work? Chorus or an electrician?
