Connecting internet for the first time....I’ve ordered Vodafone Superfast 2 broadband and will receive the WiFi hub tomorrow. I’ve moved into a new build and I have an Openreach box on the wall, I believe is for fibre which I don’t want as I just don’t need it. Will the WiFi hub work from the Openreach box or do I just plug into phone socket instead? Thanks in advance for any help!

I did say IF it is the phone socket. Keith's explanation makes much more sense and explains why it would be in a cupboard, but why would it have the second socket? And what is the white cable? Ignore that it's obviously the power. Very useful document @KeithAlger
