flag Openreach will end copper landlines and broadband in 132 UK areas, affecting 1.23 million homes, as part of its shift to full fibre.

flag Openreach will discontinue traditional copper-based landlines and broadband in 132 additional UK areas, affecting over 1.23 million properties, as part of its shift to full fibre. flag The move follows the "Stop Sell" policy, activated when over 75% of homes in an area can access full fibre, halting new sales of legacy analogue services. flag Providers have a year to adapt. flag By February 14, the policy will cover 1,281 exchanges, impacting about 12.5 million premises. flag Customers without fibre access can keep copper services until fibre arrives. flag The change supports a more reliable, future-ready network and aligns with the upcoming end of the legacy PSTN. flag Residents can check availability via Openreach’s postcode checker.
