Phone network facing copper line switch-off this year

The Island's telecoms regulator says it's the end of the line for copper phone cables.

The Communications and Utilities Regulatory Authority says a huge switch-over will be taking place around the Island over the next 12 months.

It'll see the entire copper line network turned off and people moved onto fibre or other services by 2029.

The first zone to move over will be Foxdale, Kirk Michael and St Johns - the process starts this month and will take a year to finish.
