Anyone surprised the PSTN switch off is now 2027 and not 2025... No me neither.

@VModifiedMind I am disappointed though. The sooner phone lines can go away the better.

@CenturyAvocado are you? Personally I’m fine with the delqy, as there are still plenty of bloody awkward cases where replacing kit or changing a setup isn’t desirable and actually because full fibre etc isn’t available alternatives are irritating. So hopefully the extra time will mean more full fibre available before I have to make changes for people.

@VModifiedMind as it's just calls over copper going away and internet access over that same ancient wire continues.. I can't see any benefit in keeping telephone access via it. My grandad, 99, has been on SIP for about a year now. The improved call quality has been a real help.

@CenturyAvocado raw reliability. Alarms. Lift lines. Obscure safety lines. There are many scenarios.

I’ve got several places where it’s adsl or nothing. So removing pstn voice and forcing that on the already stressed adsl isn’t at all fine.

@VModifiedMind I can only speak for locally but alarms with SIM + Internet seems to be the default around here now and work reliably. I assume there was a cost to the owners to move from old monitoring.

Lifts, good question.. though I suspect similar or SIM only. Again not free to change equipment.

There was a cost at my grandads too. The cost to go fully IP rather than plug his old BT base into the routers ATA.. but that was in the effort to obtain the best call quality possible.

@VModifiedMind congested ADSL.. that's a tricky one and needs skill and correct routing OS to apply reasonable packet scheduling to allow calls to be OK during heavy upload or download.
