We have openreach persons on our land and they will not give us contact number for management until they finish doing the work. They are doing work that they said they would NOT be doing! This is very stressful and upsetting. I would rather not give them any stars but the men doing the work are just doing their job!!

got new fibre cable installed by open reach through Vodafone and the engineer installed the cable across our bedroom window which we cant open now because of the obstruction, open reach are probably the worst company I have ever dealt with, weeks after install complaint raised with vodafone and open reach and we have still had no contact with how this issue will be resolved just keep getting run around from call centres around the world

The overall experience from open reach has been abysmal given that I was supposed to be on full fibre 28 September. 21december after 9 th didifferent engineer visits I finally have full fibre to my home. Don’t get excited ……. It isn’t working and apparantly I need an N11 engineers visit which has just been booked for 16 January 2024. Fantastic…… NOT….. that is 110 days later than service was supposed to be on. OK rant over…… good bit is that my engineer who attended was from Kelly communications.. He was the epitome of quality….. polite & friendly….. very professional in every way…. An ambassador for openreach. So every cloud has a silver lining

When the job isn’t straight forward, the engineers can bounce the job off to each other for months without anything be holding them accountable.

I moved house on mid October. The Openreach Engineer called to install box outside my house. The Engineer then called to do the necessary work inside my property. He found he could not get a connection because there was a problem with the box that Openreach had installed. I have been waiting for 7 weeks to have this fault corrected. I have called Sky numerous times only to be told that they are monitoring the situation. They have done nothing to bring this to a conclusion. Absolutely disgraceful service. if I could give them a minus rating, I would.

We a raised the complain about engineer behaviour and work he carried out. By email they keep saying "we passed it to manager to deal with this matter" now 3 times. Trying to contact them for about 8 weeks. No response or any progress ,very unreliable company by look of it.

Openreach came to fit fibre to our house and had to rebook as we had a flat roof at the front of the property. They came again fitted the outer line to the house ready for the engineer to come to fit the internal equipment. The internal equipment booking day came and our engineer 8am - 1pm arrived around 5.30 but did get everything fitted and was fine. He left saying it would be live overnight. Anyway 36 hours later and 4/5 phonecalls to Utility warehouse and openreach and the engineer himself leaves us with openreach saying our file just shows problem with fitting due to flat roof not complete. The fact I have a fully installed router with flashing lights all green other than 1 red internet light tells me they are wrong and only need to make the line live. Despite spelling this out again and again we are told we have to wait another 8 days for an engineer to finish the job. Which will be a waste of his time as the job is done but openreach system has just not been updated correctly. I cannot believe that there is not a simple fix to this situation that could be achieved by a call to the engineer who completed the job in the first place with a reference to our address. Quite simply poor quality service.

The young man who came to fit our broadband was outstanding. Connor Kemp was a credit to your company he was so professional he made a really neat job very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend x

Third time engineer has failed to attend. Claimed they had requested a PTW they never emailed or posted one for two months finally received one six days ago returned it within an hour and then they cancelled the visit without informing me or my internet company. I tried for two months to tell then they had to dig a trench to put the bloody cable in 🤦‍♂️

If I could give them a minus star rating then I would. 5 times have waited in for an engineer to attend - 5 times!!!!! and I am still waiting. Absolutely shocking service - do not use them. Who on earth is running this business?

I sold my house in July & was due to complete the sale on the 31st July. On the 22nd July an OpenReach engineer tried to gain access to my house to install fibre ready for the new owners, I wouldn't let him in. On the 27th July while my husband & myself were out, OpenReach installed fibre to the outside of my house. This was a blatant act of trespassing & criminal damage. It would seem that OpenReach can enter a private property to install equipment without the fear of any recriminations. I complained to OpenReach only to be told a pack of lies, so I then lodged a complaint with the communication ombudsman only to be told that because OpenReach is not a service provider there is nothing that they can do.

Engineer never introduced himself. Gave the impression he just couldn't be bothered. Lacking in customer relations. All in all a negative experience.

Open Reach have left my 91 year old mum without a LANDLINE since Monday which means her Careline does not work so she is at risk. She is severely sight impaired. If she has a fall and can't contact anyone she could die. They still haven't sorted the problem despite constant chasing by my provider. Appalling service
