Thanks. Just to clarify - my local exchange is a small one.
My Internet connection is via FTTP.
My single phone line is via copper.
Copper will, as we know, completely cease to function for all by the end of 2025 but my ISP doesn't know when that will be for my area. Naturally I don't want to lose my phone number when I have no choice but to move from copper to VOIP.
I'm trying to find out when this will occur for me - I want to hang onto using copper for my phone as long as possible because I don't like VOIP's reducdancy (or lack of) - seems I'll need to buy a UPS just to keep my ONT box and router working in the event of a power cut. My mobile phone signal is weak so that's not guaranteed to work either.
For my particular circumstances VOIP is a big step backwards compared to copper.
I was hoping that somebody would perhaps know a contact at Openreach to get a better idea of the switch off for my exchange. I cannot find my exchange on any online lists regarding the copper switch off.
