Apologies if this has already been discussed but we have just been made aware that our broadband and phone supplier, Plusnet (BT) are no longer going to provide a landline option. We could move to a different supplier but as they are all phasing out landlines between now and 2025 there seems little point. Everyone will be updated to full fibre/fibre broadband by then. We don’t use it to ring out anymore but a handful of people we deal with still use our landline number so will need to update them. It will be cheaper by about £10 a month also so that’s a plus. It will just take some getting used to and mean everyone will have to have mobile phone soon which might be challenging for some folk.

The new so called landlines plug into the router ,if you have a power cut or wifi goes down you have lost the landline ,until its up and running again ,not progress in my opinion.
