Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has this week announced that they will next month begin consulting UK ISPs on the process and timeline for withdrawing their Wholesale Line Rental (WLR) service by 2025, which underpins a lot of traditional copper telephone lines (PSTN \/ POTS).<\/p>\n

At this point it becomes important to distinguish between the phone \/ voice side of that service and the physical copper line underneath. BT<\/a> has long spoken of their desire to migrate users off their traditional phone (PSTN<\/strong>) network (here<\/a>) and switch them to IP<\/a>-based voice services (e.g. VoIP<\/a>). We touched on this subject again last year as part of our article – ‘The Changing Face of UK Home Phone Lines and Broadband Provision<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

Crucially this doesn\u2019t mean that they’re going to completely remove the copper lines, not least because new hybrid fibre (part fibre) broadband technologies like G.fast<\/a><\/strong> will continue to use some copper for awhile. Indeed it will still be a couple of decades before every line is truly fibre optic. At present Openreach<\/a> only aspires to reach 10 million premises with “full fibre<\/em>” lines by around 2025 and even that is far from being a done deal (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

As part of this Openreach has also indicated that they’d like the ability to migrate consumers from copper to Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) lines as the service is deployed (here<\/a>), although Ofcom<\/a> will need to agree such a move and that’s a complicated problem for the regulator. A lot of ISPs have investments in the copper network and consumers will also need to adapt (different service, higher cost etc.).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile copper phone lines are changing. The forthcoming adoption of new services, such as Single Order Generic Ethernet Access<\/strong> (SOGEA and SOGfast), will make it possible for consumers to order a copper-based standalone FTTC (VDSL2) or G.fast<\/a> broadband line without the phone \/ voice service, although the latter could be optionally added later via VoIP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Naturally “full fibre<\/em>” FTTP<\/a> lines can’t use the old telephone network and so they’ll also harness IP<\/a> based calling, where required.<\/p>\n

An Openreach Spokesman said (The Register<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n

“In May [2018], we\u2019ll consult with industry around the process of withdrawing WLR and related products.<\/p>\n

This follows plans by BT to upgrade its customers from analogue (PSTN) to digital (all IP) telephone services by 2025.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be working with our Communication Provider customers over the coming months as we consider the move to IP voice services – where broadband rather than voice becomes the primary service.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Openreach has uploaded a short briefing on the consultation here<\/a>, although history tells us that finding an agreement in a lake of so many competing interests could be difficult. Nevertheless traditional phone services are on their way out and even Ofcom<\/a> recognises that broad direction of travel.<\/p>\n

One key point to make here, in case there’s any confusion, is that the withdrawal of WLR \/ PSTN doesn’t mean that line rental will become free. The phone \/ voice component of a copper line is only a tiny part of the total cost and many people will still need the same physical copper line for their broadband, at least until FTTP but that carries a premium of its own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
