Can I use my phone point for my modem?

Yes — in most cases you can.

Your phone point is typically wired using Cat6 data cable from the NBN/garage location, which means it can also be used for internet services.

If your phone point is in a different room to your internet point, this gives you flexibility to relocate your modem to a more suitable position for better Wi-Fi coverage.
