BT accused of ‘bullying’ customers by pausing broadband in digital landline push

BT has been criticised for suspending broadband service to customers who have not transitioned to its digital landline offering, a move described as bullying. The action forms part of a broader industry effort to convert households to voice‑over‑IP telephone services by the end of January. Consumer groups say the tactic pressures users into the new system.
