The countdown is on
For those businesses waiting to act, it’s time. The retirement of the copper wire network is accelerating at pace and is affecting the operations of thousands of businesses already. 8% of telephony exchanges have stop sell notifications on them and by September 2023 all telephone exchanges will be under order restriction.rnrnStop Sell restricts the usage of certain products where there are plans to later withdraw them. This means:
- No new lines, channels or copper-based broadbands can be installed
- No additions of lines and channels to existing installs
- Broadband bandwidths cannot be modified or improved
