Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has just published the next batch (Tranche 23) of 132 exchanges in their \u201cFTTP<\/a> Priority Exchange<\/em>\u201d stop sell programme – covering 1.23 million premises. This reflects areas where over 75% of premises are able to get full fibre lines and will thus stop selling copper based legacy phone and broadband products (i.e. FTTP<\/a> becomes the only product option, where it’s available).<\/p>\n

Currently, there are two schemes for moving away from old copper lines and services, which can sometimes cross over a bit. The first starts with the gradual migration of traditional legacy 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 legacy phone services began on 5th September 2023 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a>’s full fibre currently covers over 21 million premises (60% of UK), and they aim to reach 25 million (80%+) by the end of 2026, followed by an ambition for up to 30m by 2030 (subject to Ofcom<\/a>’s current market review outcome – due March 2026).<\/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 lots of time for natural customer migrations.<\/p>\n

Between the scrapping of legacy 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 Openreach<\/a>’s full fibre lines than others). Just to be clear, though, 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

132 New Exchange Locations (Tranche 23)<\/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 132 exchanges confirmed today takes the total number of exchange upgrades, by mid-February 2026, that have already been placed under active “stop sell<\/em>” rules to 1,281 – reflecting 12.5 million premises or around 51% of Openreach’s full fibre footprint. The stop sells in today’s list will become effective from 12th February 2027.<\/p>\n

James Lilley, Openreach\u2019s Managed Customer Migrations Director, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur stop sell programme is a vital step in accelerating the UK\u2019s transition to a modern full fibre future. As copper\u2019s ability to support modern communications declines, the immediate focus is getting people onto newer, future proofed technologies.<\/p>\n

By phasing out legacy copper-based services in areas where fibre is now widely available, we\u2019re ensuring customers and providers move onto faster, more reliable, digital infrastructure. This approach not only reduces the cost and complexity of having to maintain both old and new networks but also supports the industry-wide migration ahead of the legacy copper-based Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) now just over 12-months away, by which time everyone will need a digital phone line.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach 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
