Here are some Swiss voip tips netvoip.ch works very well.
OVH is a low cost based in France which also allows you to obtain a Swiss incoming number for 1 euro per month but their offer is not very interesting for outgoing calls. For the latter there are many offers you can look at on progx.ch to find the best offer depending on the destination.

The fiber -> Ethernet conversion with the transceiver is not complicated but it is not enough. Then it will be necessary to configure your routing equipment to “emulate” the configuration of the Internet Box and this is where it gets complicated because it is not supported or documented by Swisscom. From memory, you must tag on a specific VLAN and add a specific option in the DHCP request.
Good luck and keep us posted.
My feedback, I replaced the Internet Box with a Mikrotik router, it worked correctly for internet access but I encountered problems with multicast streams because the IGMP support is bad/incomplete with this router.
I then used a Pfsense firewall solution with a Fiber - Copper media converter which worked well for 6 months even if the initial configuration is not simple because you have to modify configuration files by hand without using the webgui to configure vlan and option 60 in DHCPRequest packets. Overnight without any change on my side it stopped working 😞 The message was:
"This connection is not yet activated.
For activation, please contact your telecommunications operator in advance.
Your Binding-ID is: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
After registering via the web interface it worked for a few minutes and then the same message again.
Impossible to get support from Swisscom because I no longer used their router. To resolve this, I left the internet box plugged in and after a few hours the access worked stably again. Due to lack of time, I have not yet tried to connect my pfsense firewall directly again.
