Open Petition since 21st December 2023

Review Timetable For Phasing Out Copper Wire Landlines - 11,166 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,216 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government should work with Ofcom & the major telecom suppliers to review the timetable for the switch to digital telephone lines.

The PSTN migration is industry-led but Government and Ofcom are monitoring communication providers to ensure that consumers and sectors are protected and prepared for the upgrade process.
