Staying in Touch as Landline Changes
Goodbye Copper, Hello Fiber!
Telecom companies are in the process of updating copper lines across the country. This lecture will explain why copper lines are being phased out, the benefits of modern technology, and what next steps you can expect. Additionally, we will review some alternatives to traditional landlines, including those that allow you to keep your number and phone, as well as mobile phone options, and more. Finally, we’ll share important resources to help you understand where to find additional information and what options may be available to you.
