New research from BT reveals 63% of Brits admit they put off essential tasks. 30% have already missed deadlines, leading to fees or disruption
With less than a year to go before the nationwide analogue switchover to Digital landlines in January 2027, ignoring provider messages mean the services you rely on may be disrupted.

Further information and support is available here https://www.bt.com/about/all-ip/connected-together or by calling 0330 1234 150.
