SAVE OUR LANDLINES: Help us maintain full access to our well-established and vital copper landline network.

British Telecom companies are planning to pull the plug on essential landlines in favour of less-regulated, less reliable,less secure and more expensive wireless phones or Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VOIP). They lack a sensible plan to keep people safely and reliably connected. British Telecom (BT), for example, have already been moving customers from landlines to internet connections, although they have temporarily postponed the roll-out after escalating complaints from concerned customers.

BT to end landline phones sparking fears for millions of vulnerable and elderly people: “Around six percent of households – roughly 1.5million homes – do not have access to the Internet, according to watchdog Ofcom.” https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/bt-end-landline-phones-sparking-25544885

Dismantling landlines will cost us safety, health as well as jobs and cut off critical emergency communications access to millions of people. We must defend our landlines from unscrupulous telecom companies and governments. If you want to keep your choice to have a reliable landline in your home or business, you need to act now.
