I absolutely concur with the need to retain our copper wire landlines for many reasons

Such a massive and indiscriminate digital roll-out is yet another scandal which not only threatens to undermine the overriding responsibility of the British Government to "protect and safeguard the lives of its citizens", but also our democratic 'right to choose'. As some of us know, BT used to be a 'Public Utility' under the overall stewardship of the British Government until it was partially privatised in 1984. So far so good, until 1997, when the Blair Government recklessly sold Britain's protective 'Golden Shareholding' veto, and hurled British Telecom into the avaricious jaws of the World's global digital telecom speculators. I believe this scandalous destruction of our telephone landlines also poses a serious threat to the Nation's "Right to Liberty and Security" as enshrined in the 1988 Human Rights Act, and compromises the 2018 Data Protection Act which promises "appropriate security, including protection against unlawful or unauthorised processing access, loss, destruction or damage". The Government must intervene by referring such a serious threat to our national security to the 2021 National Security and Investment Act (NSI) in order to implement a comprehensive forensic examination into yet another unfettered vice like grip of the digital enslavement which is funnelling us all into a into an unsafe and uncertain future. Government has to preserve our Terrestrial safeguards as, one day, a lump of galactic debris will inevitably crash into a crucial satellite, or even worse, an enemy Cyber attack could plunge us, and future generations, into a catastrophic 'Dark Age'......

Why would anyone favor a form of communication that is less reliable, less secure, more expensive AND extremely harmful to human and animal health? The plan to scrap copper landlines is folly. Some of the best inventions in history are tried and true and do not include wireless devices or VOIP. Let's not make a mistake here.

They are using this as an excuse to put more masts in rural areas so we are all irradiated 24/7.

The VoIP digital voice service will not work during power cuts and a battery back up only last just over an hour not all people can use a mobile and the signal is bad in many areas alarm systems for the elderly will not work this has been rushed badly thought out the only reason BT and open reach do not want yo maintain the copper lines WHY profit they are not satisfied with 100s of millions a year for share holders they want more and if I'm and government let them do it not correct and very dangerous for peoples lives do they care No

Without a copper landline, with star-wiring for handsets throughout the house, I will be without access to emergency services and my support people. This so-called upgrade is a violation of the Equalities Act 2010 as it discriminates against me because of the EHS disability.

It is vital that traditional landlines are preserved as digital systems are unreliable and sometimes difficult to use.
