Connecting Apple Time Capsule to Fibre

My Mac is connected to the internet via one of the ports on the Time Capsule.
However, someone told me that I don't need the Netgear router any more as I can plug the Time Capsule straight into the Fibre box. When I did this I didn't get any internet connection.
Is it true that I can connect the Time Capsule to the BT Openreach box and, if so, how do I configure the Time Capsule to enable the service?
I originally connected the Time Capsule to the Netgear because the Time Capsule doesn't have a built in modem.
If I have been misinformed and cannot connect the Time Capsule directly to the fibre box should I connect the Mac directly to the Netgear router? As it is set up at present (Mac to Time Capsule, Time Capsule to Netgear) I'm wondering whether this is the "cleanest" connection to the internet.
Thanks for your help.

in airport utility under the internet tab you need to change 'connect using' PPPoE. account name is your username XXXX@plusdsl.net and password is your password.
that should be enough.

I conducted a reboot of the fibre box and the Time Capsule and all appeared OK (Green light on) but then the flashing started soon after.
Any idea what this is and how I resolve?
Thanks

It all seems to be installed but I don't seem to be able to use the Time Capsule in place of the modem - or to get it to back up.
Plusnet dont support Apple - Apple don't seem to support Time Capsule
Any hints please?
