there was a time when you might spend hours on the landline, when EMFs did not exist. Its ridiculous what is being done.

I only have Internet access by using my friends. Once my landline goes I will have no phone access at all at home. I am far to old to learn yet more new technology let alone afford to pay for it.

Very worrying as they won’t work in a power cut. Also if you switch over to this Digitsl Viuce phone yiu will be without a phone fir two days and you cannot switch back to having your phone in the wall. Not everyone had a mobile. What about the phones in lifts as nd people with SOS help that the elderly and frail in case of emergencies? BT sent me one of these phones with a battery in case of a power cut. I sent it all back as I was told I’ve got to have wireless Wi-Fi in my home. I was told by BT they want everyone to be digital by 2025.

What about personal choice?
I would rather pay more for something that is easy to use, reliable and works, than less for something that doesn't.

Was stopping the lines to our red phone boxes (that were once every village's communication point) and turning them into book exchanges or defibrillator outlets the nudge towards reliance on mobile phones and cutting wired phone connections altogether, blanketing our earth with life-disrupting RF radiation for 'connectivity'? We had connectivity with wired landlines and local phoneboxes. Now we've been nudged towards every village having a mobile mast so you can carry your connection in your pocket. Madness. See the role you play if you do everything on a mobile phone.

My previous experience of VoIP is very dodgy and I am in no hurry to use it again.
It doesn’t work when the power goes down, so what do we do then?

If it ain't broke don't fix it! Landlines work extremely well and have done for years. Leave them alone and let us keep this valuable resource.

I do not consent to the termination of my landline, or its replacement with the proposed digital replacement.
The men and women of the United Kingdom were did not vote for this or concent to this. Without a national referendum or vote, It is therefore, not either acceptable or lawful to remove the service and replace it with a service which will also not function in an emergency power cut. Many people do not want to rely on mobile phones and Many elderly and disabled men and women rely on having a reliable phone line service which functions in an electrical power drop.
It is therefore entirely unacceptable for this facility to be removed and replaced with the proposed digital system which does not function in a power cut which is exactly the time vulnerable people need to be able to reach out and get help who are housebound or disabled or vulnerable people.
The man and women of the United Kingdom have not consented to this, so it is unlawful and immoral and must be overturned.

This is a crazy and thoroughly discriminatory idea. I get a headache if I use a mobile for more than 15 seconds. How will I be able to communicate and what about all the 1.5 million other people who don't use the internet.

Landlines are safe; mobile phones, if not fitted with protective devices, can cause tumours, which develop over time. See the Canadian programme "Electricsense" for the evidence.
