BT PSTN Solutions
BT’s PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) switch-off is accelerating the move away from traditional analogue phone and ADSL lines across the UK. At Allcomms Telecom, based in Stoke-on-Trent, we help businesses in Staffordshire and parts of Cheshire transition smoothly to modern, resilient broadband, VoIP and SIP solutions -with minimal downtime and maximum support.
What Is the BT PSTN Switch-Off?
The PSTN switch-off means that old analogue phone lines and ISDN circuits will be retired and replaced with all-IP networks. This is planned for January 2027 and it impacts:
- Traditional business telephone systems
- Legacy broadband and ADSL services
- Emergency line configurations
- Alarm/telemetry systems tied to PSTN
Traditional phone lines will no longer be supported – so transitioning to digital communication services is essential for continuity.
