What happened

Openreach, BT Group's network arm, has told providers that the legacy PSTN will be retired on 31 January 2027 with no further postponement. Services relying on PSTN, including point-of-sale terminals, fire and security alarms and TeleCare personal alarms, are at risk of disruption. Customers without fibre will likely be moved to SOTAP for Analog, and businesses still on legacy lines face double rental charges compared with last year.
