See ya later PSTN...

Howdy all!

Has anyone else seen a huge change in levels, since the PSTN-death notifications from Virgin?
Looks like it's getting turned off for good (at elast in Havant/Cosham) on August 10th...

I assume they're playing around in local cabinets, but interesting that all my neighbours have also seen significant change in their levels as well.

Curiously, -5/-6dBmV doesn't seem to be causing any issues here, but come the heatwave - You just know those are gonna slip further

I'm guessing this refers either to the stop sell notification for certain areas of Openreach or the transitioning to VOIP for a number of VM customers and their landline service.

Re: See ya later PSTN...

21CV is only the first part of the switchover. The "backend" kit remains the same for the tiime being. Switch off of PSTN exchanges will be a synchronised event across the network.

21CV for Virgin Media has a separate IMS switch to any of the PSTN/TDM ones.

Re: See ya later PSTN...

PSTN = Public Switched Telephone Network, i.e. the current telephone network.

I'm not sure specifically what the abbreviation 21CV stands for, but its basically VOIP (Voice Over IP) i.e. telephone calls over the internet.

Re: See ya later PSTN...

21CV = 21st Century Voice. Lending BT's terminology. BT used 21CN, to indicate their entire network was changing to IP based routing. For VM it's just their voice network.
