Traditional phone lines will be switched off due to the fact that they no longer meet the demand for new technology
For those who are unaware, BT will be switching off traditional phone lines in 2025 (BT, 2021). This is not meant to alarm anyone, but I want you to understand clearly exactly what that means.
BT intends to permanently switch off the traditional networks. It stopped supplying public switched telephone network (PSTN) and integrated service digital network (ISDN) in 2020, and aims to move to a full migration by 2025. Every phone line within the UK will be digital.
The reason traditional lines will be switched off due to the fact that they no longer meet the demand for new technology. For example, it does not support data connections (the internet) and it is restricted to a slim amount of benefits, such as voicemail and 1471.
