Copper "POTS" Lines are Going Away
We'll help you proactively make the switch—before it disrupts your business.

30 Days’ Notice Could Leave Your Business Disconnected
The FCC’s July 2025 ruling has changed the timeline for businesses. Carriers are no longer required to maintain aging copper (POTS) lines, and they can shut them down with just 30 days’ notice. That means the phone line you’ve relied on for decades could disappear without warning—taking your fire alarms, elevator emergency phones, security systems, cash advance machines, and other critical infrastructure down with it.
This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a compliance risk, a safety issue, and a financial burden. Verge Network Solutions is here to make sure your business stays connected, protected, and ready for the future by safeguarding you from:

Carriers can retire lines with almost no lead time, leaving businesses scrambling.

POTS lines are increasing in cost by more than 30% per year, even as service reliability declines.

Systems like alarms and elevators may stop working if copper is retired before you have a plan.

Failure to replace copper lines could put you out of alignment with safety regulations and industry standards.

Providers are very unlikely to repair or replace failing copper lines, and when they do, wait times can stretch for weeks—or even months. Don’t get stranded without service when you need it most.
