**UPDATE: PSTN Shut Off Delay**
BT has delayed the switch from copper landlines to internet-based services due to concerns from vulnerable users. The switch was paused after some telecare devices stopped working, affecting nearly two million people in the UK who rely on personal alarms.
Initially set for completion by the end of 2025, BT, including EE customers, now aims to finish the transition by January 2027. This extension provides business customers with more time to plan and manage the changes, with the support of KCS IT Services.
