Its just the old pstn telephone thats shutting down

 

Sky phones will then be plugged into the back of the router .broadband will remain unchanged

Copper circuits will continue to carry IP data to some addresses for years to come, just as they are now for broadband but without a bundled analogue voice service.

The Openreach target to have 80% of UK addresses within reach of FTTP is the end of 2026.

Thanks for info.

Does  that mean BT won't be up the pole changing wires that come into your home?

When FTTP infrastructure arrives in a particular area, every subsequent broadband order at a local address (initial provisioning, ISP switching and speed upgrades) is delivered over newly installed optical fibre: this might arrive underground or from a pole.

 

At the moment there's no other widespread replacement of 'phone lines' going on: that's something for the future.  Eventually the aim will be to get rid of all the old metallic circuits and recover the copper, because it has much better potential uses than as a communication bearer which the Victorians would recognise.
