So what is The
BIG Switch Off?

Put in simple terms, BT are moving over to a completely internet-based telephony network in the UK on the 31st of December 2025 – this means all traditional PSTN services including analogue and ISDN lines in the UK will be turned off forever, and nearly 150 years after Alexander Graham Bell first demonstrated the telephone to Queen Victoria, we will enter a new era of fully Internet based modern telecommunications.

What does this mean for your business?

Internet Connectivity services such as ADSL and fibre to the cabinet that rely on analogue technology will cease to work, as will other services such as lift lines, fax lines, EPOS machine lines, alarm lines and in fact all home phone lines in the UK will be switched off forever, ready for the new generation of communication.

But not to worry! The infrastructure that the old technology relied upon can be reused for the newer connectivity services. All it takes is a slight change in hardware and a line migration and you can be up and running in no time.

We have the latest internet connectivity services such as SoGEA, FTTP and Ethernet ready to be supplied, and a range of hosted telephony and Voice-over-IP solutions that will enable services workflows never possible using analogue technology, enabling a truly flexible way of communicating anywhere, anytime.

SoGEA

SoGEA stands for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access. It uses the same physical infrastructure and has the same geographic availability and connectivity currently available to most business premises in the UK.

FTTP

Fibre to the premises (FTTP) provides an internet connection over fibre delivered directly to your business and provides a high-speed, reliable and affordable connectivity option. Because connectivity is delivered by fibre technology rather than copper, dedicated speeds of up to 1Gbps Down and 115Mpbs up are available depending on your business requirements.

Ethernet

Ethernet Internet Connectivity allows highly reliable, secure, and fast dedicated data connection. It is delivered over a fibre connection, with network health monitoring provided as a standard. With options over a choice of dedicated 100Mbps or 1Gbps circuit, you have a choice of speeds ranging from 10Mbps ranging up to 1Gbps.
