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.
