    WAKEFIELD RISC OS COMPUTER CLUB

    End of the PSTN phone network and updates on Broadband changes --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Meeting on Wednesday 3rd June at 7.45pm

    This month's meeting is a follow-up to our previous two sessions
    regarding broadband changes and the ongoing transition to digital phone
    lines.

    Chris Hughes will take a closer look at these two distinct sets of
    changes. Because they are occurring simultaneously but on completely
    different timetables, they have caused a great deal of confusion and misinformation across the internet.

    With the deadline for switching off the old PSTN (Public Switched
    Telephone Network) fast approaching, Chris will explore the options
    available to users. In addition, he will examine the direct impact of
    this change on your broadband connections and detail the choices you
    have moving forward.

    This 'virtual' meeting is open to all, and will take place using the Zoom conferencing service using our regular meeting credentials. Zoom
    invitations will be sent out ahead of the meeting, but only to those who
    email info2026@wrocc.org.uk to request one. If you would like to be part
    of the meeting (and don't already have the link from a previous meeting or receive an invite in the next 24 hours as a member of WROCC), please RSVP
    -- at the latest by the end of Tuesday 2nd June (GMT).

    If you haven't used Zoom before, we suggest that before Wednesday you try
    to join the Zoom test meeting at https://zoom.us/test on the device that
    you intend to use, in order to check that your system works OK. You will
    not require a Zoom account to take part.
