ALL IP refers to the telephony network in the UK being changed so that all services work over the Internet (IP or Internet Protocol). Today the UK network has a copper and fibre mix of lines and will continue to do so for many years to come. The original copper lines network and the associated telephone exchanges, were designed for voice calls. Today the Internet uses broadband technology to pass data over these lines at speeds that are determined by the makeup of these lines and as Fibre is a far better medium for transmitting large amounts of data quickly and the more fibre we can use, instead of copper, the better the service will be.
