Upgrading to full fibre connectivity offers a wealth of advantages for both individuals and businesses, making it a smart investment for the future. Unlike traditional copper-based connections, full-fibre internet utilises fibre-optic cables to deliver data at the speed of light, resulting in significantly faster, more reliable, and more consistent performance. This means quicker download and upload speeds, reduced buffering during video streaming, and a smoother experience for online gaming and other real-time applications. Whether you’re streaming 4K videos, video conferencing, or working with large files in the cloud, full fibre ensures that everything runs seamlessly. In today’s digital age, the number of devices connected to the internet in a single household or office has skyrocketed. Full-fibre connectivity can easily handle this increased demand, providing ample bandwidth to support multiple users and devices operating simultaneously without compromising performance. This is particularly crucial in environments where remote working is prevalent, as a reliable and high-speed internet connection is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Employees can collaborate in real-time, attend virtual meetings without interruptions, and access cloud-based applications with ease, ensuring productivity remains high. Moreover, upgrading to full fibre is a forward-thinking move that can future-proof your internet connection. As technology continues to evolve and digital demands increase, having a robust and scalable infrastructure in place will allow you to adapt without the need for frequent upgrades. Full fibre is built to accommodate the internet needs of tomorrow, ensuring that your connection remains cutting-edge for years to come, supporting everything from smart home devices to emerging technologies like virtual reality and the Internet of Things (IoT). By making the switch to full fibre, you are not only enhancing your current digital experience but also investing in a solution that will keep pace with future advancements, ensuring that you stay connected, productive, and ahead of the curve. @evolvebg Visit Evolve’s LinkedIn

The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switch-off has been a significant transition within the telecommunications industry, aiming to move from traditional copper-based networks to modern IP-based networks. Recently, the switch-off has been delayed by a further two years due to various technical, regulatory, and market readiness factors. The PSTN has been the backbone of global telecommunications for over a century, providing reliable voice communication. However, technological advancements have rendered PSTN outdated compared to the capabilities of Internet Protocol (IP) networks. The planned switch-off and migration to IP networks promise enhanced services, lower maintenance costs, and increased flexibility. The additional two-year delay in the PSTN switch-off reflects the complexity of the transition, addresses unresolved issues, and ensures a smoother migration process. This delay aims to mitigate risks associated with network reliability, customer adaptation, and regulatory compliance. There are many reasons for the delay, including technical challenges, regulatory and compliance factors, market and customer readiness, and business continuity. Businesses both benefit and suffer from this delay in different ways. Firstly, it offers them more time to comprehend the shift and move to the best IP-based alternative. Secondly, it prolongs the time that their current infrastructure is available. However, as the process is still ongoing and now is a crucial time to make the shift to the future of connection, companies still need to be ready for the eventual switch-off. Due to the considerable risk involved with using outdated equipment, maintaining analogue services is quite expensive. In a further update, Openreach stated that they anticipate the migration to proceed at a rapid rate and that they would still be ending current WLR contracts for Internet service providers by the end of December 2025.
