Hello! 👋🏼 What can we do for you?
21:46PSTN network will switch off in 2025
The legacy PSTN had served its purpose for over 100 years, but it could no longer support the demands of today's level of communication and so needed to be replaced with a far more resilient network fibre.
What is the purpose of turning off PSTN? .
The world is changing, and so is the way people communicate. The legacy PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) had served its purpose, but it no longer supports the demands of today’s level of communication.
As a result, Openreach is updating local telephone exchanges across the UK to move away from traditional PSTN lines such as analogue or digital phone lines, ISDN phone systems used by businesses and older internet connections such as ADSL and FTTC broadband to a full-fibre network.
