The speed of broadband is now genuinely fast enough to negate any problems around quality. FTTP is 25 times faster than copper based connectivity as it uses only ‘superfast’ fibre optic cables to transmit data at the speed of light. This means the distance and performance based limitation that exist with copper based connectivity do not exist with FTTP, giving you greater reliability. This high performance reliable connectivity ensures that quality of your call is never compromised and as your businesses grows, you can scale up your connectivity to match with ease. Today there are hundreds of thousands businesses who rely solely on VoIP to deliver their business voice calls. 

It comes down to whether you need a voice service alongside data. FTTP can easily be paired with a hosted telephony system like PhoneLine+ that delivers voice over IP and therefore can run over the data connection, allowing you to have telephone services without the need of a telephone line.

Yes but you will need to take out an OTT VoIP service (like Gamma’s PhoneLine+) to run in parallel with your FTTP, and ensure that your Service Provider ports your existing number to your new service, or you will lose the number forever once you migrate from the existing WLR-reliant broadband service.

You can use your current analogue phone by connecting via an ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter) to the IP network.

If you have FTTP, you will need to connect any devices that currently are plugged into the telephony wall socket in the premises, into the router. This could include Telecare devices, Intruder alarm, Fire alarm etc. You should make your device service provider aware of the change so that they can make sure that they will continue to work or provide a suitable alternative. 

Contact us for the best possible package. This is likely to include a low bandwidth broadband package, and if needed, a cost-effective VoIP service like our PhoneLine+.

To ensure that your services continue with minimal disruption you should engage with your Service Provider to agree a migration plan. The Openreach timeline has been up and running since 2017 and includes a number of  regional “stop sell” dates, which are dates after which Service Providers will no longer be able to obtain new supply for their customers of analogue services, and there is a national “stop sell” date of September 2023. In addition Openreach have announced they will stop selling PSTN and ISDN products in 117 exchanges from June 2021. This will affect over 1.2 million customer premises including business, and from that date you won’t be able to buy new analogue lines in these areas. There is a list of these exchanges on the Openreach web site.
