Modernise Now: Get Ready for the 2027 Switch-Off
The UK had initially planned to switch off the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) across the entire country in December 2025. The PSTN is the old copper-based network that is reaching the end of its life. Many current technologies, such as FTTC, ADSL, basic telephone lines, and ISDN phone systems, rely on this network, meaning they will also be phased out and switched off alongside it.
We are currently well into the migration plan, which spans several years, aimed at transitioning to new technologies. This includes upgrading your connectivity to FTTP or SoGEA and adopting Cloud-based telephone systems. While the original deadline for the switch-off was set for 2025, it has now been delayed until 2027. However, there’s no reason to wait. Modernise your systems now and get ahead of the change. Talk to us today to review your options and ensure your business is ready for the future.
