🚀 Leading the Charge in Digital Transformation: The UK's communications revolution is in full swing, with BT Group at the helm of digitising our nation's infrastructure. 💡 We've revamped our digital switchover strategy to prioritise the needs of vulnerable customers, ensuring a smooth and considerate shift from the classic Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to the cutting-edge digital landlines. The journey is heating up as we introduce zero-use landline customers to the new BT Digital Voice service. This initiative is an integral component of BT's ambitious plan to equip 25 million homes and businesses with high-performance, full-fibre broadband by 2026. 🌐🏠 Attention all businesses: proactive collaboration is your best strategy! 🏢 Join forces with BT now to guarantee your systems are fully optimized for the new digital era. The countdown is on—the transition from copper-wire to full-fibre infrastructure is slated for completion in January 2027, putting the analogue PSTN firmly in the past. Progress towards a fully digital Britain brings its set of challenges, but it's through collective effort and determination that we're achieving remarkable progress. Many local authorities are already illuminating the path by disseminating crucial details to protect telecare users, but we urge more to step forward and become part of the vanguard. 🛡️ And for those personal users currently without broadband, you're not left out. A specialized interim landline service is in the pipeline, with successful trial runs pointing to a nationwide launch this autumn. Stay tuned for this exciting development! 📞 This digital leap transcends mere connection; it signifies a commitment to co-creation, consumer support, and establishing a robust foundation for a full-fibre future that uplifts every corner of the UK.🇬🇧✨ #DigitalTransformation #FullFibreFuture #BTGroup

If you haven't heard BT Group's latest announcement, you may not be aware that The Big Switch Off has now been extended to 2027.

Ofcom's latest report on broadband deployment highlights the progress towards achieving 97% gigabit service accessibility for UK homes by 2027. While this is commendable, it won't be enough to keep pace with increasing data consumption. Despite having gigabit access and a revamped mesh WiFi network at home, connecting my work computer via ethernet remains essential for optimal speed. At Predict, we see a consistent monthly increase in mobile data consumption for businesses, averaging 30-40% over a 2-year contract. This trend likely extends to wireless data usage overall. The evolving landscape continues to emphasize the importance of ensuring the availability of reliable and fast connectivity for all network types to meet both consumer and business demand. Ofcom's online mobile checker highlights how mobile is still struggling, particularly in a typical urban setting like mine near St Albans in Herts where O2 is the only one of the four major networks where indoor voice calls are "likely". The other 3 networks report "limited" voice, and all 4 report "limited" indoor data connectivity. Outdoors, it's best described as hit and miss locally. It's rubbish. After 25-years spent in and around the mobile industry, I understand the challenges, but there are no excuses. Come on mobile network operators, you have to do better! #Ofcom #BroadbandDeployment #GigabitService #HighSpeedAccess #MobileDataConsumption #WirelessData #ConnectedNations2024

Building a telecommunications network is a high risk, complicated process. One that only reaps the benefits years later. That’s why it’s imperative to build quality into your network infrastructure from the outset, right at the planning stage. And because planning costs a fraction of the overall network build, this is your best opportunity to influence and control the expense of rolling out the network.

Today is Telegraph Pole Appreciation Day. Although we might ignore these wherever we see them in the landscape, as a once vital part of communications infrastructure, they are a great reminder of how fast technology evolves. Even the phonelines they carry are changing. The UK’s ISDN and Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) is gradually being phased out as part of the ongoing process called the Big Switch Off. If you’re still using these legacy services, your business could already be affected. Those yet to upgrade to a modern telephony solution will find the agility of their business communications severely limited- as you cannot add to or modify these services any longer, they cannot adapt to your needs. Discover what the full implications of the Big Switch Off are for your business, and what you need to do to avoid disruption here: https://buff.ly/4gaWm1C #SCG #SCGTogether #TelegraphPoleAppreciationDay #BigSwitchOff #StopSell #ISDN #Communications #Connectivity #BusinessSolutions
