Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)

In January 2027, the UK's Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is being switched-off for good.

Are you still using the old analogue phone system known as PSTN? If so, get ready for a significant change that will impact everyone.

The phone network is going digital, and that means everything will soon rely on the internet. It’s time to embrace the future.

What Does This Mean for You?

You may need to install a new phone system, and you might have heard of VoIP phones. But the transition to digital technology doesn’t stop there.

This change could also affect other devices that currently operate on analogue phone lines. Think about your EPOS machines, cameras, or even the alarm in your lift. It’s important to prepare for the switch and ensure everything is compatible.

Why is this a big deal?

We understand that change can be overwhelming, but rest assured, we handle significant upgrades every day. The benefits of this transition go far beyond just a clearer phone signal.

A new system will bring you better flexibility, lower costs, greater reliability, and an improved experience for your customers. It’s a win-win situation.

Upgrading your broadband to fibre

As part of the process of making this transition successful, it is likely that you will also need to upgrade your broadband service to fiber optics as part of this process. Currently, this technology is being rolled out across the country in an effort to improve the reliability and speed of connection to the internet, and also to improve the reliability of the internet in general.
