IMPORTANT UPDATE!!

BT Group has announced an extension of the deadline to transition from the old analogue PSTN lines to full fibre broadband. The new deadline is now the end of January 2027. This extension is aimed at ensuring that vulnerable customers, including telecare users, have ample time to make the necessary arrangements without disruption. BT Group is also encouraging all customers, especially public sector organisations and those relying on telecare services, to engage early in the migration process. This move is a crucial step to accommodate the needs of those who rely heavily on existing systems while updating the infrastructure to more reliable digital services. We at APS are here to assist you through these changes and to ensure that your transition is as smooth and efficient as possible.

What is PSTN?

The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) has been a cornerstone of global communication since its inception in the late 1800s and is an extensive network, often referred to as the traditional circuit-switched telephone network, and has been the backbone of telecommunication for over a century. Comprising local, national, and international carriers, PSTN has facilitated a robust infrastructure that has supported voice-oriented communications worldwide.
