Broadband is expensive and without copper line you will be forced to use broadband with fibre so that telephone could cost you a lot more once the copper connection is gone.

This video would make a great KZfaq Short!

we got a (BT Decor 2200 V2) phone with a RJ11 pluged in from the phone to the (EX230v Router) but no tone or anything when I listen to the reciver - but the little green light with the phone icon is on solid & green - but not sure if its all done migrating over to the new sytem yet as we want to keep our old number but the internet part is working just no functional phone use yet don't even know if our phone is even compatible - not sure how long I should leave it before ringing my ISP to ask why its not working or if its working

The copper line is far better quality. It is also far more reliable. Power outages do not affect the copper line as there are back up generators at the exchanges. Nothing repeat nothing can beat the copper line. I have a copper line to our local exchange and also have very fast broadband through the copper line. Wi-Fi throughout my house means I have all the facilities I need. I am going to cling on to my copper line as long as possible or until I see something better, which there is nothing better at the present time. I suspect the wolves are looking at all that copper that can be got from the BT underground cables. Remember once gone never to be got back. No doubt there will be incentives on offer to ditch that copper wire coming into your house soon. One of the tricks up their sleeve is to cause the master socket to fail by simply applying a voltage that can cause it to fail…. Very easily done. The cost of repair could be quite high as it entails a visit to replace the socket. But we shall see how this goes over the years as some people cling to their copper connection. Then there is the security issue….copper is very secure unless the law is broken and someone taps into your copper line.

Once again someone with a very low knowledge base trying to sound good. Power outages in rural areas are going to be a problem, a big problem. Just looking at the comment, you will need a Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS), what a throw away comment. Firstly how long will you need your UPS to last? How much will it be? Plus who will pay? Simply the longer you need it to last the more it will cost, BT offer a 60min back up battery for around 60min of use which of course they will sell you. Yet some power outages can be 12 hours plus and in rural areas even longer. Mobile coverage is not that hot in large areas of the uk so you can't rely on using a mobile to summon help and of course with no power how do you recharge it. I wonder when the first death of an individual will be attributed to a fibre optic power failure?

Not prime time at all. Still lagging from classic Outlook

I'm also not a big fan of this outlook version. The "send later" button is missing in my version. No possibility to create rules. Many other features missing. But at least, it's free. @Westway IT love to see your videos about new features in the app (as you can't call that a program -.- )

Very informative. I've been having fun trying to explain it all to people, and I know I'll be doing a lot more of it soon.

@2:52 You don't need to buy new landline phones. The new BT routers have a green socket on the back to plug in your existing phone. There are videos on youtube showing how to connect up your existing extension wiring too.

Great if it works a family member was switched over to fibre plugged in the adaptor sent in the post and no phone line working? Cannot receive or make calls so has to ring up provider on mobile says they'll reset and re-register the number and it could take 48 hours. 48 hours later it still didn't work, so she range up again, lucky she has a mobile as some do not, re-registered again another 2 days still not working, now she's waiting for an engineer to come out, and needs compensation for the landslide. If this happened to elderly people with no home phone on their own what are they suppose to do!? @StuffJason437

If you can't open PST files, it's not ready for prime time.

VBA is missing

the new outlook is garbage. I've tried it and hate it. I don't want to give up mail. I love mail. simple easy. It might be ok for work, but it is not ok for personal email

Until we can save emails into folders and also open existing email files from folders, new outlook is not ready for prime time, at least not for us.

Thanks to the EU, we know that the new Outlook collects data about the user and transmits it to Microsoft. People in europe get a notification and the option to reject this snooping but others get nothing. I'm currently using Thunderbird.

Thanks for the video. The new outlook looks horrendous. It's exactly the web version of outlook. The native windows version of outlook is not the best but better.

Mm yes, white flashbangs when opening a dialogue in dark mode. 2:35 I miss Office 2007

Interestingly, you look and sound exactly like the bloke that I would imagine is interested in Microsoft Outlook

That copper network is robust, the fibre network shuts down when a power cut happens, our last cut lasted 11 hours and the mobile coverage is very poor to nil. yes another great leap backwards for the uk

i am fighting bt to let my 86 yr old mum keep her copper line,. she has never had a mobile phone and doesn't know how to use one and wouldn't want to

was hoping this was a guide on how to keep the copper. bt are bullying my 86yr old mum into having digital voice. she lives in a remote house 1km from nearest neighbour and regularly (most recent being last week) gets power cuts .I am convinced bt are doing this change to maximise profits for them and their shareholders, not caring what vulnerable customers want or need.

You are definitely not an imposter mate. You're doing all the right things and this dinner is the first of many steps that show you belong. Love & Respect.

no emergency calls from homes if power is gone e.g. a blackout

Good video. I was told by customer service that the copper landline allows you to use the phone during storm outages. It's one of the eeasons more than one person I've talked to prefers to stick with it for now

Call management is complex, especially for businesses that have to deal with large call volumes. VoIP phone system comes with features that help manage more calls in less time. Along with other strategies using VoIP can make call management easier.

party pizza ??? O.o or snak time

Call routing is an important feature offered by VoIP service providers that never lets you miss an important call. It routes calls to the other agent if one is busy and reduces wait times ulti,lately leading to improved customer satisfaction.

So it's another way that isps are forcing internet on people who only use phone

Thanks for these. I've heard good things about "Never Split the Difference"! Must give it a read. "They Ask You Answer" is my bible when it comes to content writing for my clients!👌

I really like this channel. I can see it grow really quickly. Best of luck. x 🇬🇧

Hi John - we were one of the first areas to go completely FTP ( fibre to premises). We could have remained on the old copper line but only with a rolling contract at nearly twice the price. So in effect we were forced to change. Sadly the roll out here has been plagued with issues. After almost 12 months of problems we waved goodbye to BT and installed VOip. I wont bore you and others with the details but every engineer ( and there were lots of them ) that tried to fix the faults said the system was a mess. Lack of training, testing equipment and support were common comments. We moved to Virgin as they use their own lines and pay for internet only with a VOip telephone that costs pennies to use.
