This can also be especially helpful for long-distance or international calls.
Are BT phasing out landlines
WITH the news that Bt plan to phase out landline phones from all UK households by December 2025, a lot of people have got in touch with The Northern Echo to voice their concerns about the telecoms company altering their traditional service.
What happens to landlines in 2025
Landlines will still exist, and you can still have a phone line in your home – but the system that underpins it will be different.
The changeover needs to happen by December 2025, as this is when the old technology will stop working.
What are the disadvantages of not having a landline?
- Your Internet bill might go up
- Your cell phone has to be charged to be usable
- Challenges using 911
- You need cell reception
- You might want a “house” phone
Is Plusnet owned by BT
On 30 January 2007, Plusnet was acquired by BT Group, but it continues to operate as a separate business.
By December 2013, it had over 750,000 customers across the UK.
What will replace landlines
This means that in future, landline calls will be delivered over digital technology called Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which uses a broadband connection.

Do I need a new router for fibre 65

Will a better router increase internet speed
Whatever router you choose to buy won’t affect the original speed of the internet coming into your home.
These are two separate things, so don’t expect much faster download and upload speeds.
The true benefit of a new router comes with having better coverage.
What does CityFibre do
What do we do at CityFibre? As the UK’s 2nd largest national full fibre infrastructure platform, we’re designing, building and operating a whole new network for the data age.
A network that delivers a connection so reliable people won’t have to think about their broadband ever again.
Which companies use BT Openreach
We supply network services to more than 650 service providers, for example Sky, BT, Vodafone, and TalkTalk, who use them to bring broadband packages to you.
Is it better to use your own router
You should rent a modem or router (or both) from your internet provider if you want upgrades, replacements, and technical support at no additional cost to you.
If you want to save money over the long run and have more control over your internet connection, buy your own router.
What is the difference between fibre 35 and fibre 65
Aside from the faster download speeds, the Fibre 65 plan is very similar to Fibre 35.
You’ll still get the 30-day Great Connection Guarantee as well as TalkTalk’s Wi-Fi Hub Black router included.
You’ll also get the HomeSafe web content filter, and there’s the option to add TalkTalk TV for an extra £4 per month.
