  • View My Job, Order and fault trackers have all the information you should need about your orders and faults with Openreach. So that's where you need to go to get all the detail.

    If you've got an existing case, check for the latest updates here.

    On the rare occasion you need more and specific info you can Chat with EiVA (Monday to Saturday, 8am - 6pm and sunday 10am - 4pm)with your questions and we'll help straight away. Or you can fill in this form and we'll come back to you within 7 working days. But if the information is already on the above systems for you, we'll point you back there so make sure you check them fully first.

    • Finding an address - Use the Address matching tool which can help you find the correct format of an address for your customer.
    • Fixing issues - Use the ORDI process to fix any issues an address or service ID. Click here for help with this process
    • Bronze addresses? - If you can only find a bronze address for your customer then you should place a bronze address provide order and once service is provided, a Gold address key will be created. Openreach can't create a silver or gold key manually for you without an order being placed.
  • If your customer is reporting an issue with their overhead or underground cable within the boundary of their property, you should report this as a damage fault through your usual process. Openreach will not attend unless you book it for us in these situations.

    For anything outside your customer’s boundary or if the issue relates to a pole or cabinet, your customer should use our Eiva chat option here or call 0800 023 2023 options 1 then 1, 24/7. We need to know about something that's unsafe ASAP so please report straight away.

  • We do all we can to avoid damage when we work but if it does happen, either you or advise your customer to email their details (name, address, contact number, email address) and a description of what’s happened (date, time, description of damage, photographs) to BTPLClaims@dwf.law The public liability teams will then send out a claims pack within 48 hours and deal directly with the customer to fix things.

    • Is fibre available? - Check here.
    • In scope but not ready for an order? - Check here to see where we are with our fibre plans. There will be estimated timescales for when we think you should be able to place an order. Your customer can also keep an eye on this themselves at www.openreach.co.uk
    • Not in scope or exploring solutions? - Unfortunately this means we don't currently have a confirmed plan for fibre now, but we're adding to this all the time so ask your customer to keep an eye on www.openreach.co.uk for updates. Alternatively they can get together with their community and register for a Fibre Community Partnership. All the info about that is here.
    • What if you think there's an error with our fibre records? - This is quite rare but on occasion we do show an address of phone number can't have fibre when they actually can. Situations like the next door neighbour has fibre (we're talking houses next to each other, not houses far apart or houses on different streets) but your customer can't order it. If you come across this, please fill in this form and will look into it for you.
  • This is something you have to arrange and agree with your customer if they want compensation after a service issue or delay. Even if Openreach have caused the issue or delay. 

    Why? Openreach has Service Level Guarantees with you (our CP) where we automatically pay you if we cause an issue or delay. So anything your customer is asking for is for you to agree with them independently of Openreach. 

  • This is something you need to resolve with your customer if they raise a billing dispute after you've billed them. But if Openreach have charged you (our CP) for something you want to dispute you can find full details of what to do here.

  • This work is fully chargeable including an upfront Survey fee payable by the customer. So direct them to our Infrastructure Solutions team on 0800 783 2023. More info is available at www.openreach.co.uk/alteringournetwork
