Copper based landlines work without the need for power, are stable and a healthier option. Dispensing quickly with this proven system in favour of less secure RF internet lines is a recipe for disaster.

Landlines are the safe choice- must remain an option!

I depend on my landline when the power goes out. I rarely use a cell phone, as the landline allows me to avoid RF exposure.

Vaste lijnen zijn de enige optie in een digitale uitval. Geen controle maar vrijheid van spreken en handelen.

We need our landlines and phone boxes in case of emergency, power cut and digital crashes

I definitely wish to keep my landline, because my mobile reception cuts out often. And LL never do.

Wireless microwave-based telecommunication is a proven class 2 carcinogen, so phasing out copper landlines denies people the right to a safe form of communication, while promoting unsafe Wifi and cell phone-based communication. and is a public health risk.

My mobile does not always have reception. The answer is not to put a mobile mast in the village. Thye never did any adequate safety studies when evaluating tghe safety of mobile phone technology. The answer is to leave a perfectly adequate system in place. Sir Thomas Beecham helped to get all the local railways closed. Now I see some of these railways are being restored. Let's not make the same mistake with land lines.

Keep our landlines, there is no reason to get rid of them. VOIP and cellular are very unreliable while copper landlines will stand the test of time.

As someone who is electro sensitive and who knows many others who are more severely sensitive, taking away copper phone lines will be detrimental to the physical and mental health of users. It is essential to keep the copper network as to get rid of it puts many at risk.

The UK government and associated private corporate agencies and profiteers did not consult the public on this matter. How do we communicate in emergencies and black-outs when no-one can power /recharge the wireless devices we are all being told to use instead? Worse still, who decided that it is OK for the rising number of vulnerable elderly who are utterly reliant upon these copper lines and for those who are electrosensitive, who will be harmed by and suffer from the societal exclusion because of this same issue and the ubititous spread of these same wireless devices so those affected can find nowhere safe. There is a fast rising potential for round the clock power cuts / rationing because of National Grid's already officially reported inability to match grid capacity and infrastructure with a predicted exponential rise in demand in an alleged intended future non-fossil fuel, all-electric world? The insatiable appetite for data storage and transport, EV charging, telecommunications infrastrucuture and surviellance, all powered by electricity, will be deemed essential at the expense of the public supply. Openreach will no doubt resell the old nationalised GPO landline copper at vastly inflated prices to service the high demand AI, comms and computing /tech industries and the public will not see any of that benefit. We must retain our copper landlines: they are the only safe option. No consultation with or permission given by the public means no consent to this loss. This could be deemed by some as state terrorism because loss of copper landlines puts members of the public in fear and heightened anxiety and steals our rights of access to the easiest safest, least vulnerable form of already exisiting communication and it imposes a constant threat of an isolationist grid (ie: a form of imprisonment) all of which is entirely under the control of private coporations (ie: the UK government, state agencies, NGOs and the for-profit tech giants, all of whom will be able

We must retain Landlines as a valuable infrastructure resource. Voice Over Internet Protocol is not the safest communication in a disaster situation

For someone who avoids where possible all RF-EMF I find this wrong and disturbing. I do not use a mobile phone, I have no wi-fi, no smart TV, etc, etc, I am aware of the harm to health of these technologies and I choose to avoid them when I can, surely I have the right to that choice in my home, and surely that right should be protected by others. Then, there is also the obvious reliability of my current copper landline that has been the one thing that I have been able to rely on for as long as I can remember. Then there is the security of the copper landline over the internet/wireless phones, I just find this whole issue disturbing and cannot comprehend this whole issue, just crazy. If this is forced on me I can see the day when I have no phone, no connection, utter madness.
