I'd be very wary about that. This seems like a sales initiative dressed up as a free upgrade. I would expect them to want a new contract term as part of the package.
They can just ignore it and carry on. There is no FTTC widrawal on the horizon.

That was my first thought, but why keep it at the speed he is on?

I refer you to my 1st post. They want the volume discount. They are not concerned about speed upgrade.

He said he is just going to ignore the emails, see what happens. The alarm system he has for his wife will work over voip, but I said he will need some sort of battery backup if he decided to go for FTTP.


Up here, i have no idea what is going on, the signs that were in my road about roadworks, vanished on Tuesday and never been replaced, so I presume it was to warn people of roadworks in the road across the roundabout, Zzoomm seems to have vanished out of site of my house. I am going for a walk into town soon, so I may have a walk that way just to see.

Will need a battery backup even if still on FTTC once migrated off the PSTN and onto VoIP. This migration to All IP and VoIP is another natiowide programme and the PSTN network is being closed in 2025 with a stop sell in 2023. See https://landlinesgo.digital/ to prepare for this change

Yeah I realise that, not sure if he does, I have seen the link before and looked at it, but thanks anyway.
