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

1. Map your current setup – identify everything connected to copper lines, from phones to POS systems.
2. Upgrade broadband – Switch ADSL/FTTC to full fibre (FTTP) for faster, more reliable internet.
3. Move to digital voice – Replace landlines with VoIP for flexible, modern calling.
4. Check dependent devices – Ensure alarms, payment terminals, and door entry systems are compatible.
5. Plan upgrades early – Book installations now to secure engineers and avoid last-minute delays.

Pro tip:

Planning today avoids downtime, budget surprises, and stress later.
