Copper lines are disappearing, costs are climbing, and cloud phone systems deliver more for less. Traditional landlines are on borrowed time. In March 2025, the FCC streamlined rules to let carriers retire copper networks faster—cutting the required shutdown notice from 180 days to just 90. AT&T stopped accepting new POTS orders in Texas as of October 2025 and will begin decommissioning copper in 500+ wire centers starting June 2026, with full retirement targeted by 2029.
