BT Infinity and Archer VR900 V2 AC1900

Dumb questions I'm sure, but I need to be sure I am buying the right bit of kit...
I'm in the UK. I'm currently on BT Infinity service sold via another provider. I have a BT OpenReach modem attached to my existing Netgear R7000 EWAN port via ethernet cable.
So, 2 questions.....
1. To be clear, with the Archer VR900 V2 AC1900 I do not need the OpenReach modem, the Archer V900 v2 unit has a modem built in, so I just plug the RJ11 telephone line that USED to go to the modem straight into the V900 DSL port. Is that right? The setup then automatically detects the type of connection (PPPoE)?
2. That being the case has anybody found any change (increase or decrease) in download/upload speed when using the TP-Link's integral modem compared with the external BT OpenReach modem? I'm guessing (hoping) it is a better (or at least technologically more up-to-date) modem compared with my little white OpenReach unit that I've been using for several years.
Thanks in advance....
