Move away from legacy PSTN and ISDN services and opt for a cost-effective and straightforward alternative such as SIP Trunking. If you can still leverage services on your existing PBX, then SIP is the ideal solution.
2025 isn’t that far away, especially when considering such a pivotal change such as how your business communicates with your customers. Voice calls are not the only systems set to be affected by the move. Many businesses will use these analogue lines for other uses, including card machines, emergency alarms, door entry systems, lift lines, and remote monitoring systems, so you will have to consider these systems when planning your migration. Don’t put this off until it becomes a last-minute decision – future-proof your business today.

Your questions answered...
We know every organisation is different, that’s why we’ll ensure you get the support you and your business need to make an informed decision about your future – be that with an on-premise communications platform, deploying Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) connectivity or going the whole hog and moving to a fully-hosted cloud infrastructure.
Daisy offers an entire range of business-grade broadband and fibre options, alongside dedicated connectivity using Ethernet technology. We will work with you to provide the best option based on your business requirements. Take a look here.
- If a premise has GEA-FTTP available to order, then only GEA-FTTP is available to that premise and instantly become within the scope of stop-sell.
- If a premise does not have GEA-FTTP available, SOGFAST, SOGEA, GEA-FTTC, SOTAP (where no fibre is available), MPF and WLR (only until September 2023) will be available.
The same stop-sell principles will apply for the fibre exchanges in Salisbury and Mildenhall. Openreach plans to modernise its network to support the delivery of telephone services using Internet protocol (IP) technology, and to upgrade its copper lines
to fibre. As part of this, it will undertake two trials:
The Salisbury trial (Dec 2020) will test the processes for migrating customers to fibre services and, ultimately, withdrawing legacy copper services.
The Mildenhall trial (May 2021) will test the processes for withdrawing Wholesale Line Rental (WLR), and migrating customers from legacy copper services to fibre – which will support the delivery of telephone services over broadband connections. MPF and SOTAP will be available in a fibre area if there is no spare fibre capacity.

You can migrate over to a Single Order broadband product. The voice service will stop working and effectively becomes redundant in this instance. Voice service will become an optional add-on to your broadband service. Download our quick-read, all-you-need-to-know guide about SOGEA >>
Alternative copper and fibre products
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) is the fastest and most resilient all-fibre product with broadband speeds of up to 1Gbps download and 220Mbps upload and can be purchased on its own.
Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) is a form of fibre optic communication delivery in which the optical fibre runs all the way from the exchange to the street cabinet and uses the existing copper network to reach the home or office. The remaining part of the access network from the cabinet to the customer is usually copper wire but could use other technologies such as wireless.
Single Order G.Fast (SOGFast) is a cutting-edge technology that delivers ultrafast speeds over existing copper lines of up to 330Mbps through a single order variant which forms part of the Openreach developing product portfolio.
Single Order GEA (SOGEA) Delivering superfast in a single order, speeds of up to 80Mbps will offer similar connectivity to FTTC without the need for an underlying Voice Access product. Download our SOGEA guide >>
Single Order Transitional Access Product (SOTAP) Supporting non-fibre areas with speeds of up to 17Mbps. This is a new product that will deliver a copper path between your premises and the SOTAP communication provider’s (CP) exchange infrastructure, over which the SOTAP CP can provide broadband and IP Voice services. This is different from a Metallic Path Facility (MPF) because it facilitates the use of existing exchange infrastructure which currently supports LLU SMPF and therefore provides a better experience when migrating away from WLR products (with or without SMPF).
Ethernet offers a wide choice of high bandwidth, permanentlyconnected point-to-point services designed to help CPs extend their own networks and deliver a range of high-quality services to their customers. The Ethernet fibre network that underpins them offers unrivalled geographic coverage of the UK, embracing many out-of-town locations where manufacturing takes place and where many data centres of the future will be located.
