One important change affects every home in the area: Openreach confirmed in June 2026 that the old analogue PSTN copper phone network will be switched off in January 2027, with the cut-off date set for 1st February 2027. If you or anyone in your household still uses a traditional copper landline for phone calls, you will need to switch to a digital voice service before that date. Your broadband provider can advise on next steps.
