My contract with Eir for phone and FTTH broadband is coming to an end. Inclined to stay with it if I get the right price as as far as I know they are the only ones who still provide a copper wire phone ie not using the broadband. I want to stick with the copper because I have zero coverage in my area on any mobile network - and generally at least once a year there can be a power outage - I can use an old school phone to make any calls I need - just plug it into phone outlet when "modern" wireless phone goes off line due to no power. I am annoyed that I see copper will be phased out completely an this is supported by the EU in a bid to get more fiber out there, however I think there is a place of old technology. I have an elderly relative who will never use or need broadband - what will happen to their phone?
