Keep seeing stories regarding BT's planned switch off of analogue phone

for the average home phone user.
Thoughts?

It is happening. We are getting FTTP next week and that should see an end to our
copper. Not sure if they actually remove it?
Some further info:
Openreach (BT) plan to launch a new symmetric €ślow speed€ť 500Kbps (0.5Mbps) tier
on their UK Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network, which might seem
odd until you realise that its part of their transition away from the old phone
services (WLR / PSTN). Elsewhere FTTP on Demand is being trialled in apartment
blocks.
At present a lot of work is going on behind the scenes in order to prepare the
market for two major changes. Firstly, the gradual migration of traditional
voice services to all-IP technology (e.g. VoIP) by December 2025 €“ essential on
full fibre lines where electrical signals are no longer used €“ and, secondly,
the complete switch-off of the copper network in favour of €śfull fibre€ť / FTTP
(phased €“ fully completing some years after 2025).

Had VoIP here for what, 10 years now over VM broadband..
Also its now on the mobile as an extension line via Zoiper works very
well indeed and what's best of all is there no fecking Bee Tee involved
in that system
