Openreach complaints policy

At Openreach, we pride ourselves on making sure we provide excellent service. When our customers let us know they're unhappy with any part of the service we provide, we'll do our best to make it right, learn and act on the feedback.

What do I do if I have a complaint?

To raise a complaint, or enquiry, that relates to the provision of telephone/internet services, engineer appointments, faults or compensation, you'll need to go through your Communications Provider.

They in turn will contact us to resolve the matter on your behalf. This is because although Openreach is the network provider, your relationship is with your Communications Provider.
