BT declared in 2015 that its PSTN\/ISDN lines would be retired in 2025. You will still be able to purchase ISDN lines up to September 2023, however there will be a forced migration phase between April and December 2025. Given the rapid evolution in the way we communicate, now is as good a time as any to be prepared for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both technologies have become out-of-date and incapable of handling the volume, speed, and quality of data in today\u2019s increasingly digital world, which has led to the decision to switch off.
