It is also worth noting that the PSTN copper switch-off is scheduled for January 2027. Once complete, traditional landline phone services will move to digital voice over broadband. If your household still uses a copper-based phone line or relies on equipment connected to the old network (such as a telecare alarm or older router), it is worth contacting your provider now to arrange the transition in good time.
