The Great British Switch Off: Modernise Your Connectivity
Prepare for the WLR Switch-Off
By January 2027, the UK’s copper phone network (WLR) will be retired. Businesses still using old landlines, ISDN systems, or copper broadband risk downtime – not just for phones, but for alarms, payment terminals, door-entry systems, and more.
Act now to avoid disruption and future-proof your connectivity.
5 Steps to Stay Ahead
- Map your current setup – identify everything connected to copper lines, from phones to POS systems.
- Upgrade broadband – Switch ADSL/FTTC to full fibre (FTTP) for faster, more reliable internet.
- Move to digital voice – Replace landlines with VoIP for flexible, modern calling.
- Check dependent devices – Ensure alarms, payment terminals, and door entry systems are compatible.
- Plan upgrades early – Book installations now to secure engineers and avoid last-minute delays.
