i guess you fall under the "Except where stop sell policy permits or exceptions apply" as the only service avable was adsl.

Cumbria has a FTTP compleasion by the end of 2026 ( the last time i checked )

End customers don't *really* need to know much about PSTN closing, their provider should be handling it all for them and abstracting the complicated bits away.

Exchange closures will be done a exchange by exchange basis. Good Service providers would do that, bad ones not so much

Exchange closures are not happening concurrently with PSTN switch-off though.

There is a plan to close 100 exchanges by 2030, with an initial trial of five exchanges, but that's now dropped down to just three:

Apart from PSTN switch-off there's a whole load of other stuff that needs to happen before an exchange is closed, including getting all the LLU providers out, and all the leased lines which go through it.

of course, you need every single service that fed through the exchange either rerouted, decommissioned or terminated before an exchange gets closed. Sorry it looks upon re-reading my reply that the second sentence was some how referring to the exchange closures.
