Businesses that haven’t made the switch to modern alternatives are now facing surging costs, poor support, and an urgent need to adapt. Fortunately, there’s a better way forward, and Comfort Profit Consulting is here to guide you through it.
The Problem: POTS Lines Are Expensive and Obsolete
Over the past few years, telecom providers have steadily increased POTS line pricing in response to the rising costs of maintaining outdated copper infrastructure. In many cases, businesses are now paying hundreds of dollars per month for a single analog line, often without realizing it.
Beyond the cost, carriers are phasing out support for copper services entirely. Replacement parts are difficult to source, technicians with legacy skills are retiring, and the networks themselves are no longer being maintained. Businesses are left paying more for less reliability and fewer options.
In 2019, the FCC removed requirements for carriers to maintain POTS lines, accelerating their decline. Many service providers now require businesses to transition off copper or face disconnection.
The Opportunity: VoIP-Based POTS Replacement
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology offers a reliable, future-ready alternative to legacy analog lines. Today’s POTS replacement solutions simulate analog line functionality while leveraging broadband internet or cellular connectivity.
These solutions maintain full compliance for use with:
- Alarm and fire panels
- Elevator systems
- Fax machines
- Gate entry controls
- Point-of-sale terminals
Better yet, they come with a modern set of benefits, such as built-in redundancy, remote management, lower maintenance, and significantly reduced monthly costs.
Why Now Is the Right Time to Act
If your business still relies on analog lines, you are not only overpaying—you’re also vulnerable to outages and disruption. Copper infrastructure continues to be decommissioned, and rate hikes are expected to continue as providers push remaining users off legacy networks.
With a professionally managed VoIP-based replacement:
- You reduce monthly telecom costs
- You gain visibility and remote management capabilities
- You eliminate the risk of copper network outages
- You maintain compliance for life-safety and critical systems
The longer you wait, the more you pay, and the greater your exposure to service failures becomes.
