Sub contractor arrived on time and was very nice. However he had been given no info of our medical needs or history by BT or Plusnet (our previous brilliant supplier) . Installation went smoothly but we were left with no connection to tv or desktop computer. Had to get help in to connect our appliances. Installer said this was not part of his job.

Hi Pete,
Thank you for contacting Openreach via Trustpilot. I'm pleased to hear that the subcontractor arrived on time, was courteous, and that the installation itself went smoothly. However, I'm sorry to hear that information regarding your medical needs and circumstances was not available to the engineer, as we understand how important this can be when planning and carrying out an installation. I also appreciate your frustration at being left without a connection to your TV and desktop computer following the visit. While the engineer advised that connecting customer equipment was outside the scope of their role, I understand this resulted in additional inconvenience and expense for you as you had to arrange further assistance. This is not the level of service we aim to deliver. For your awareness, Openreach engineers are responsible for installing and connecting the Openreach network equipment but are not trained to set up or configure customer devices such as TVs, desktop computers, or other home entertainment and IT equipment. Your service provider will be best placed to assist with connecting your devices to the service or advising on any alternative arrangements. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. ^Basusndhara

Internet went down in afternoon said on EE website there was poor connection and could arrange on line an engineer for the next day. Came at 9. My cable across some trees had snapped. Cherry picker got in and all fixed by 12.45. The engineer kept me informed of what work they were doing and was very polite and helpful.
Such brilliant service within less than 24 hours. Thank you very much Open Reach

Complete mess up
Our details were mixed up with another customer and our install never actually happened. The engineer was hundreds of miles from us when he called to say he was be 10 mins away! No apology no communication from open reach just no engineer and no install.
We have had to place a new order and go back to the back of the queue ....

Hi Louise, thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I'm very sorry to hear about your experience. I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to be expecting an installation, only to discover that your details had been mixed up with another customer's and that no installation had actually been scheduled. Please raise this with your service provider so that they can arrange for a new appointment on your behalf. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience and frustration caused. ^Debangshi
Advised the engineer that I did not…
Advised the engineer that I did not want to proceed with install as router had not been dispatched by broadband provider.
The engineer then told me that installation would not effect my previous broadband connection. He spoke to me like I was an idiot. I said again, I'd rather rearrange the appointment. Finally he refused to leave so I allowed him to proceed against my better judgement.
Lo and behold he contacted my broadband provider to state installation was completed, and my previous provider then cut off service.
This has left me without Internet for 5 days (and counting). I depend on wifi calling as I live in a poor signal area. I am 7 months pregnant and this has left me very vulnerable.
The engineer also took or disposed of my personal ethernet cable, so unable to access even ethernet!
Firstly, please ensure your engineers are respectful and listen to service users. Secondly, the work being marked as complete and the cable missing were dishonest.
There is also damage to our outside guttering due to ladders being used.
I wish I'd stayed with virgin media and paid higher broadband, as having to repair our gutters, replace cables, and spend time away from the house have been more costly. Disgusting.

Hi Florence,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m deeply sorry that your clear request to postpone the installation wasn’t respected and that you felt pressured into allowing the work to continue. I understand how distressing this must be, particularly as you’re seven months pregnant, rely on Wi-Fi calling due to poor mobile coverage and have now been without internet for five days. I’m also very concerned that the work was marked as complete despite the router not having arrived, that your Ethernet cable is missing and that your guttering was damaged. Please contact your broadband provider urgently, explain your circumstances and ask them to prioritise restoring your service and review the missing cable. For the damage to your guttering, please contact our Public Liability team at BTPL@Keoghs.co.uk or 01135 482 650, providing photographs and any relevant information. They’ll advise you on the claims process. Please accept my sincere apologies for the engineer’s conduct, prolonged loss of service, missing property and damage caused. ^Abir

A very pleasant, courteous and polite young man. He explained all that he intended to do including repositioning my landline which is important to me as an oap with mobility issues. The other young man was equally friendly and courteous.
