Openreach have been very busy in our locality installing the new Fibre infrastructure that I understand will replace all the copper telephone cable circa 2025.
Obviously the "home phone" will have to be a VoIP. As I understand it, a standard land line operates on a 50V DC system. Fibre optics cannot carry voltage/current, it suggests that the "home phone" will have to be replaced unless a suitable adapter is available. Presently VoIP phones cannot offer all call features. My big concern is for my elderly relatives (91 &88) classed as vulnerable, will not be able to adapt to the new phone type. Can anyone please comment on what the VoIP home phone of the future will look like and what call features it will be capable of?
