We asked !
Claude is hitting our feeds a lot recently, so we asked it something pertinent that is going on in our space. The big BT switch off. The advice was sound:
"Claude, what should my business do to prepare for the big BT switch off January 2027?"
The PSTN switch-off deadline is 31 January 2027, so you have about eight months left. Here's what to do:
Review your infrastructure
Identify every service and device in your business that relies on traditional phone lines. This includes:
- Analogue phones and fax machines
- Fire and burglar alarms
- Payment terminals
- Lifts and intercoms
- CCTV systems
- Telecare or health-monitoring devices
- ISDN lines and ADSL/FTTC broadband
If you're unsure what's connected, contact your communications provider-they can help you audit your estate.
