The whole SOTAP thing from start to....well it's not finished!!

I really don't see why Openreach have taken so long implementing this - SOTAP is being consumed by BT Wholesale to provide SOADSL, this seems no different from MPF being consumed by other CPs who could offer DSL-only from their MSANs. Surely BT Wholesale could have bought Openreach MPF circuits to their rented space in the exchange, just as any other CP does.

How dare you, Sir! We're world beating with this programme. Stop looking at the various countries that have removed the PSTN and especially those that have entirely or almost entirely gotten rid of copper.

😂😂 loving the mock outrage. You’re far more eloquent and polite than I: another crass colonial 😝

I live in an estate with full fibre, we've never had copper. There's an apartment building exclusively for the over-55s at one end. It's bizarre that we're terrified of turning the PSTN off while it's fine for almost everything built in the last 4 or 5 years to have never had copper.

I live in a tiny group of 2 story blocks of flats at the end of a road. Everyone in the road has OR copper, VM coax, and TWO separate AltNet FTTP suppliers. Get to the block of flats and those whom had cable installed in the 90s or early 2000s have a choice, everyone else is stuck with copper. The building owners (housing association) have stopped responding to wayleave requests from anyone.

The problem is at parliament, they haven't finished the job.
