Customer Service Plan
Are you refurbishing or extending an existing building? Or are you building a brand new site? If so, you may need to move a drop wire or alter our Openreach network from an overhead position to an underground position, relocate our network or order brand new infrastructure. These are just a few simple examples of network solution services that we can help you with.
Here is a list of the type of engineering tasks we are able to deliver on your behalf:
• Infrastructure to New Site housing developments, from single homes to 1000+ plot strategic sites
• Network in Advance on new housing developments for Ethernet services
• Existing network rearrangement
• Build fibre networks for commercial sites, free of charge for sites of 20 or more commercial units
• Repositioning of distribution points, drop wires, poles and internal distribution connection boxes, underground ducting or cables
• Housing stock refurbishment programmes, particularly the change of overhead infrastructure to cope with Multiple Drop Wire Re-arrangement (MDR), also known as External Wall Insulation (EWI)
