As part of the UK’s ongoing transition away from traditional telephone networks, Openreach will be completing the nationwide PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) switch-off programme by January 2027.
This industry-wide change requires legacy phone and broadband services to be migrated to modern All-IP solutions.
As a result, pricing for certain legacy services will increase from 1st July 2026.
| Service | Price Change |
|---|---|
| WLR (Wholesale Line Rental) Services | 40% increase in monthly rental |
| Legacy Broadband (ADSL, ADSL2+, SMPF*) | Price increase applicable – please contact us for details |
| Legacy Broadband (FTTC*) | Price increase applicable – please contact us for details |
* Price changes apply only to services that are currently eligible for upgrade to SOGEA or Full Fibre (FTTP). Services that can only be migrated to SOADSL are not affected.
If you currently use any of the services listed above, we recommend reviewing your connectivity options and considering an upgrade to a modern All-IP service. In many cases, migrating to SOGEA or Full Fibre can provide improved performance and help avoid ongoing legacy service price increases.
Our team is available to discuss the options available at your location and recommend the most suitable upgrade path for your business.
