• The plan is to turn copper off by the end of 2025

    December 2026 now 'if the right investment conditions are in place' - https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband/where-when-building-ultrafast-full-fibre-broadband

    BT are very keen to turn off ~5000 exchanges, only keeping ~1000 but since FTTC is fed from one of the remaining exchanges that can stay and mine is one of the 1000 anyway.

    we need a landline

    You don't need to buy that from the same people you buy your IP connectivity from (you probably don't get your email from your broadband provider either). You could port your number to Number People, and buy a SIP phone, for 'free'. You pay for calls and I think there is a minimum £5/90 days topup.

  • Number People could be an option - thanks. I was looking for alternative providers, but I couldn't find any reasonably priced ones.
