This new study conducted by Cullen International for the FTTH Council Europe, analyses the situation and progress toward deactivating the legacy copper network in 27 EU member states, the United Kingdom, Norway and Switzerland. The document presents the developments that emerged in 2025. This is the second edition of the analysis and includes a comparison with the fi ndings of the first edition. A very diversified picture emerges. Incumbent operators in some member states have started switching off their copper network, while others have not yet publicly declared their intention to do so. In Norway and Spain, the incumbents completed the copper switch-off. In 14 countries, the incumbent operators have a plan for complete copper switch-off. In eight of these 14 countries the plans are publicly available, while in others (e.g. Portugal) the plan is confi dential.
