Default BT suspend digital rollout: As Landline is needed

[BT throws lifeline to landlines as bosses
suspend digital rollout after customer backlash
Telecoms giants want to move all 29million
UK homes off the old copper landline
But pensioners were left without working
landlines for days during power cuts

BT has paused the rollout for now and will
only transfer people who request it
