Does this indicate that a Sky Talk switchover is imminent?

Sky haven't announced when they'll switch existing landline customers to Internet Calls (their equivalent of BT's Digital Voice). At the moment, only some customers upgrading their broadband package and all customers moving to Sky are switched to Internet Calls.

Edited to add: Openreach require all providers to switch to a digital phone service by January 2027.

@Michael12342

As @Mark39 indicates, the revised target date for PSTN switch-off, which will affect all Openreach/BT Wholesale ISPs, is January 2027. It's still unclear how any of the ISPs are actually going to achieve this: for example Sky will need to replace all remaining Q Hubs (and any earlier models) still in use.
