It has been confirmed which UK sites will be the next to upgrade to the newest internet technology.

In an effort to transition to the newest broadband technology, two villages in Kent will witness the deactivation of outdated landlines. New fibre connections are progressively replacing the old copper lines that have connected residences for years.

In addition to increasing broadband speeds, the Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) technology alters how we make phone calls. Households will switch to Voice over Internet Protocol, or VOIP, from the outdated analogue wires used for chatting with loved ones.

In addition to introducing new capabilities like Multi Call and call diversion to any other phone number, including mobiles, this service promises to improve call quality. New cables are being gradually replaced throughout the UK, and we now know

BT’s Openreach, which provides broadband infrastructure nationwide, has confirmed that 84 new locations will transition to FTTP in the next 12 months. Once implemented, Openreach will cease the sale of legacy analogue products in more than 880,000 premises across the UK.

In the upcoming year, 84 additional locations will switch to fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) service, according to BT’s Openreach, a national provider of internet infrastructure. When Openreach is put into place, more than 880,000 locations throughout the UK will stop selling old analogue products.

This will have an effect on providers who use Openreach cables to give homes internet access, including BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone, and Plusnet, according to The Mirror. “Openreach has announced a further 84 new exchange locations where the business plans to halt the sale of traditional copper based phone and broadband services to encourage people to upgrade to new digital services over an ultrafast Full Fibre connection,” the company stated.

The next two places to have landlines turned off are Gillingham and Chatham.
