BT's Big Switch Off

All landlines in the UK are going digital. By 2025, the existing analogue technology (the PSTN - Public Switched Telephone Network) which has supported phone and broadband services for decades will be switched off and replaced with newer digital technology.

The good news is the landline is here to stay.  This industry wide,  once in a generation upgrade will see the vast majority of customers provided with a broadband line, making calls the same as they do today,  but using ‘Voice over IP’ technology that uses an internet connection. Most people have been using this type of technology for years through video or voice messaging apps used on connected mobile phones.
 

Digital landlines will be easier to maintain and will underpin many of the new digital services for homes and businesses, providing a better service for customers.

The switch from analogue to digital landlines  has already started in many countries including Germany, France, Australia and Japan and is a key step towards preparing the country for a Full Fibre future, in support of the UK Government’s gigabit connectivity ambitions.
