The BIG switch-off -Are you ready?
IMPORTANT TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFORMATION
Prepare for the PSTN switch off with a move to VoIP
BT announced that they will be switching off the PSTN and ISDN networks by 2025 and will no longer accept any new orders or amendments to services applicable to any PSTN or ISDN products as of 2022.
The switch over is not a removal of the copper lines, but rather a change of how the service over those lines is communicated. This is, in part, being driven by the fact that the current infrastructure is running equipment which is reaching end of life - parts and skills to repair them are becoming scarce.
PSTN is actively used today by many business and residential users. Uses include traditional voice calls but also the delivery of various broadband services as well as alarm and lift lines. Alarm and lift companies are busy working on alternative solutions to deliver their services over IP or mobile networks, leaving broadband as the major service reliant on PSTN.
• SoGEA is Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTC) including the copper pair as a single service. This delivers speeds of up to 80Mbps downstream and up to 20Mbps upstream
• G.Fast is a faster form of FTTC. It can also be described as “Fibre to the distribution point”. The copper run is far shorter, meaning that this service will support up to 330Mbps downstream and up to 50Mbps upstream
• Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) Unified Business communications Ltd offers this in select areas with speeds up to 990Mbs.
