Typically you'll have a FTTC capable router (ie a router with a built in FTTC/VDSL modem) and will use PPPoE, and you'll need to set a VLAN in the PPPoE settings. Some customers may have a separate Openreach modem, and will then use a PPPoE router.▼

Please note that most DSL lines (BT and TT) do allow PPPoE mode. This can be useful when using a bridging modem. In such cases you need the LLC-Mux normally. For FTTC and FTTP the only operational mode is PPPoE directly with RFC4638 support allowing 1500 byte MTU.▼
