Why Replace POTS Now?
Copper Infrastructure Is Reaching End of Life in North Carolina.
Major telecommunications providers are retiring traditional copper infrastructure in favor of digital and fiber networks. As legacy POTS service declines, costs increase and repair timelines extend.
Rising Costs
POTS rates continue increasing as providers shift resources away from copper maintenance.
Extended Repair Times
Service disruptions may take longer to resolve due to reduced copper support.
