One change affecting all households in the area: BT and other providers are withdrawing the legacy copper PSTN network by January 2027. If your phone or broadband still runs over an older copper line, it is worth checking whether your current package includes a digital voice service, or whether switching to a full fibre plan now would be a straightforward way to get ahead of the switchover.
