I am writing this review to warn others about the appalling experience I have had with Openreach since their involvement in my internet service installation with OneStream in March. If you value your sanity, I strongly advise against relying on Openreach for any service. The first and most critical issue occurred when Openreach installed the internet cable over my neighbors' doorway without consulting me about the route. This oversight has led to significant problems, as my neighbors were understandably upset and cut the cable. Now, OneStream claims I owe them £199 for the repair. To be clear: Openreach chose the route without my consent, and my neighbor, not I, cut the cable. Why should I bear the cost for this? OneStream states that Openreach sets the fee. Surely, understanding the situation, some flexibility could be shown? Clearly, no effort has been made, and I have been paying for an internet service that I do not have. Secondly, there are ongoing communication issues between Openreach and OneStream. I received a £200 fine from OneStream, allegedly because I was not home when the engineer visited. This is complete nonsense. The engineer came, assessed the complexity of the site, and said he could not install the cable alone. He stated he would escalate my address to Openreach to send two engineers. I waited over a week for them to assign a new team, as confirmed by my correspondence and phone calls. Yet, OneStream audaciously decided to charge me anyway. They claim Openreach does not respond to them. Well, that’s your problem, Openreach! It's not my fault that you can't manage proper communication with OneStream. Openreach, you have caused me significant distress and inconvenience. In less than half a year, your incompetence has led me to sincerely despise your service.
