Hello Ozbargainer!
I wondering NBN is coming next year for my house and I want to know if I would able to connect all my 2 home phone. The modem will be placed upstairs with my one phone and the one will be downstairs will the downstairs work if it is not connected to the modem or does it still work if its still in the socket provided in the wall already?
Thank You OZBARGAINER FORUM CREW!
We don't even know where you live, how would we know?

I have a Netcomm NF17ACV router and it has support for two VOIP lines. I have them both connected. One has an Australian landline number and the other line has a UK landline number.
I'm sure you could find something similar when you install the NBN into your home. You may already have something that has VOIP support.

You could run multiple numbers on seperate handsets via a single nbn connect using a sip provider if you are willing to invest the time (data carried over internet).
PSTN aka POTS which is what I assume you mean since you're referring to multiple phone sockets is only available on NBN FTTN while coexistence is available and your NBN provider enable voiceband continuity (not many do or even care since you should be porting your number to VoIP). NBN FTTN (VDSL) doesn't work on multiple sockets jut as ADSL doesn't either. My advice would be to have a modem that supports multiple handsets (both ring simultaneously) or have a wireless base station that supports multiple handsets.
To eliminate any potential issues with VDSL service, I would also recommend removing extra phone sockets and just have 1 simple phone line from the pit through to the socket with as little interference as possible.
Yes
You can run 4 separate phone numbers off the NBN - but from a single phone (or multiple if you have wireless additional handsets) - so anyone dials any of your 4 numbers and the phone will ring.
That is the case on my NBN modem anyway.
The NBN emulates your old PSTN phone number on the digital network. My Telstra gateway modem has the ability to support 4 different numbers - but AFAIK you can't have one number ring on one port and one on another - not at least in a basic setup - as with the NBN your phone plugs into the back of the modem, not your wall phone socket.
