Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has released the next batch of 79 exchanges (Tranche 18) in their \u201cFTTP<\/a> Priority Exchange Stop Sell<\/em>\u201d programme, which reflects areas where over 75% of premises are able to get full fibre lines and will thus stop selling copper based analogue phone and broadband products (i.e. FTTP<\/a> becomes the only product option).<\/p>\n

Currently, there are two schemes for moving away from old copper lines and services, which can sometimes criss-cross. The first starts with the gradual migration of traditional analogue voice (PSTN \/ WLR) services to digital all-IP technologies (e.g. SOGEA<\/strong><\/a>), which is due to complete by 31st January 2027<\/strong><\/a> and is occurring on both copper and full fibre products (i.e. ISPs are introducing digital voice \/ VoIP services). The national “stop sell<\/em>” on analogue phone services began on 5th September 2023 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a>’s full fibre currently covers nearly 16 million UK premises and they aim to reach 25 million (80%+) by Dec 2026, followed by an ambition for up to 30m by 2030.<\/div>\n

The second “FTTP<\/a> Priority Exchange<\/em>” programme involves the ongoing rollout of gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP) lines – using light signals via optical fibre instead of electrical signals via slow copper lines. Only after this second programme has largely completed (75%+ FTTP coverage) in an exchange area can you really start to completely switch-off copper-based products, which will come later as you have to allow time for natural customer migrations.<\/p>\n

Between the scrapping of analogue phone services, the full fibre rollout and the gradual switch away from copper lines themselves, this process will take several years in each area to complete, and the pace will vary (i.e. some areas have better coverage of full fibre than others). Naturally, premises that can’t yet get FTTP will continue to be served by copper-based broadband products.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> SOGEA (FTTC<\/a>), SOTAP (ADSL2+) and SOGfast (G.fast<\/a>) are all copper-based broadband-only products, where voice services can only be added as an optional digital IP \/ VoIP phone service (i.e. no analogue phones).<\/div>\n

79 New Exchange Locations (Tranche 18)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In this programme, the migration process away from legacy services starts with a “no move back<\/em>” policy (i.e. no going back to copper) for premises connected with FTTP, which is followed by a “stop-sell<\/em>” of copper services to new customers (12-months of notice is given before this starts and that is what today’s list represents). This stage is then followed by a final “withdrawal<\/em>” phase, but that comes later.<\/p>\n

The stop sell is applied at premises level, so it shouldn’t impact you if you don’t yet have access to FTTP, although edge-case conflicts may still occur due to rare quirks of network availability.<\/p>\n

The 79 exchanges announced today takes the total number of exchange upgrades that have already been notified as part of the aforementioned process (including trial exchanges), or which are actively under “stop sell<\/em>” to 1,175. The “stop sell<\/em>” in the Tranche 18 areas will be introduced from 6th November 2025.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a> has around 5,600 exchanges. But hybrid fibre (FTTC<\/a>, G.fast<\/a>) and full fibre (FTTP) services are supplied via different exchanges (c.1,000 of that 5,600 total) and up to 4,600 will eventually close (after 2030) – see here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/div>\n

The operator also has a Stop Sells Page<\/strong><\/a> on their website, which makes it easy to see all the planned changes. Otherwise, the following list is tentative, so changes and delays will occur (exchanges can and are often shifted around into different tranches).<\/p>\n
