To deliver high-speed, reliable internet connections, Openreach is rolling out “copper stop sell” and introducing Full Fibre connections that will revolutionise your online experience. If you’re ready to optimise your home broadband and say goodbye to buffering for good, keep reading to learn more about this exciting change.
We’re entering the era of Full Fibre! What does the “Copper Stop Sell” mean for you?
Why is copper broadband being retired?
We’re moving away from old copper broadband, which can be slow and unreliable, especially in bad weather or over long distances. Openreach is switching to Full Fibre, giving us faster, more dependable internet that’s built for the future.
What is the difference between cooper and fibre broadband?
Copper broadband sends data through metal wires, but it’s slow and easily affected by distance and interference. Fibre broadband uses light to deliver faster, more reliable internet with fewer disruptions. It’s a big upgrade that keeps up with how we use the internet today.
What are the benefits of full fibre broadband?
Full Fibre broadband is a big step up, giving you super-fast, reliable internet. That means smooth streaming, no lag, and plenty of power for all your devices at once. It’s more than just faster speeds—it’s a whole new online experience that keeps up with everything you do. With Full Fibre, your home is ready for the future.
How is the change going to affect you?
Making the Switch: No Hassle, All Reward
Changing your internet might seem tricky, but Openreach and Home Telecom make it easy. They handle the details, so you can relax and enjoy a faster, more reliable connection.
When the switch will take place?
The UK is phasing out old copper phone lines, with the copper stop sell already underway and full switch-off now planned for 2027 instead of 2025. This extra time helps homes and businesses move smoothly to faster, more reliable Full Fibre. It’s a crucial step toward supporting the UK’s digital future and growing online needs.
Do I have to switch?
With copper lines being phased out, switching to Full Fibre is a must—but it means better, faster internet. We’ll make the change easy, help you keep your number, and find the right package for you. Just book a call to get started.
How the switch will affect my monthly bill?
With copper lines going, you’ll get a direct connection—no extra line rental—just one monthly price based on your package. Home Telecom has options for every home and budget. If Full Fibre isn’t at your property yet, it will be soon. Call us to chat about your needs and timing.
