COPPER IS RETIRING

Learn more about the transition

We are entering the era of full fibre!

√ Why is copper broadband being retired?

The shift to digital superiority requires moving away from outdated copper broadband, which struggles with interference, weather issues, and distance limits. Openreach is leading this change to Full Fibre broadband, offering much faster and more reliable internet. This transition is a major step towards ensuring our internet is strong, dependable, and ready for the future.

√ What is the difference between cooper and fibre broadband?

Copper uses metal wires to send data through electrical pulses, but it’s limited by interference, distance, and speed, leading to poor performance. Fibre broadband, using optical fibres to transmit data at the speed of light, offers high-speed and reliable internet. It eliminates disruptions and maintains a strong connection regardless of distance. Fibre broadband transforms our internet experience, meeting the demands of today’s digital world and redefining broadband and digital communication.

√ What are the benefits of full fibre broadband?

Full Fibre broadband is a game-changer in online connectivity, offering unmatched speed and reliability. Imagine entertainment without interruptions, lag-free productivity, and seamless streaming. Full Fibre goes beyond basic speed demands, turning your home into a hub of uninterrupted enjoyment, supporting multiple devices at peak performance. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a complete overhaul of your online experience, ensuring unmatched efficiency for all digital activities. Step into the future with Full Fibre broadband and redefine your online lifestyle.

How is the change going to affect you?

√ Making the Switch: No Hassle, All Reward

Though changing your internet might seem daunting, Openreach and Home Telecom ensure a seamless, stress-free transition. They streamline the process, making the upgrade feel like stepping into the future. Experts guide you throughout, so you can focus on enjoying your new, ultra-reliable internet connection.

√ When the switch will take place?

The UK is phasing out copper telephone lines, initially aiming for a 2025 deadline, but this has now been extended to 2027. This extension allows more time for households and businesses to transition to more reliable and faster full fibre broadband. The delay ensures a smoother shift, addressing concerns over readiness and minimizing disruption. The move from copper to fibre is crucial for supporting the UK’s digital future, providing improved connectivity, and ensuring the country’s infrastructure can meet growing digital demands.

√ Do I have to switch?

Customers must switch to full fibre broadband as copper lines are being disconnected and will no longer be supported. While this change is necessary, it ensures faster, more reliable internet. We’ll minimise disruption, help you keep your existing landline number, and find the best broadband package for you. Book a call with our team to explore your options.

√ How the switch will affect my monthly bill?

The disconnection of copper lines means a direct connection to your property without additional line rentals, with monthly pricing based on your chosen package. At Home Telecom, we offer a variety of packages to suit different household needs and budgets. While not all properties are yet equipped for full fibre, this will change soon.
