Disgraceful service, engineer, named Max, turned up satoutside our street door for about hour, l assumed he was working on he's laptop or phoned, did not get out of van or ring our door bell, then drove off, never came back, he reported he was unable to gain access. I had to chase up what had happened and no apology recvd. Now have to wait in for another appointment,

As a customer we have no choice but to use this dreadful company. They never show up when they make an appointment. They don’t have the expertise or manpower to carry out this fibre upgrade

BT engineer supposed to be with me to fix a fault between 8am-1pm. Still not arrived at 4.15pm. Then I discovered the engineer had marked the job as started at 12.56pm. It had not. BT engineers are clearly lying about hitting targets. Couldn't care less about customers missing a day's work.

Useless - took forever to get internet working. Very disappointed primary school children as a direct result. Very upsetting - Openreach are NOT to be trusted.

Shocking failure to fix a simple fault, has been going on for six days now with no end in sight. Avoid this company, and any service providers that use them, at all costs.

Did not turn up for broadband install then lied about having been here, I spent a day off work waiting. No communication as to why they did not come and engineer did not answer his phone. Totally useless and undependable, cancelled BT order.

Awful. I signed up to a new internet provider and they rely on Open Reach to provide the fibre connection. But, they don't turn up, even when appointments are made, and they don't even contact us to say they aren't going to turn up. What a shame that this company is relied on by so many people for a basic service. Awful company.

We are experiencing incompetence of the highest order. We are moving our business and wanted to have all our services at the new location and quite honestly the staff interaction has been so below par that I have not a clue how to resolve it. please can a senior person reach out and help us.

Booked Two appointments with them. Engineers did not turn up at the write time slot. Engineers turn up whenever they want. Managed to get a phone call off the engineer to be rudely told that someone must be in the house at all times. This was on a week day at 11am, do they not know people have work to go to? If it wasn't for the fact that they are the only the provider I would have switched to another company who did not use openreach.

I am now 7 weeks without internet due to Openreach incompetence. I have had 6 visits from engineers who all say I need a hoist to connect a wire from the house to the telephone pole. they say a hoist is booked for the next appointment but they turn up without one. There is no system that allows you to talk to them so i have to communicate via live chat with Talk talk who also promise me that they have spoken to Openreach and they will provide a hoist at the next visit but they don't. Frustrated

I had an appointment from BTOpenreach engineer last Monday. The guy came and told me that he needs another person for the job and he will come back in 2 hours. He never arrived. The was reassigned. The second guy came on Friday and told me he needs another person for the job and will come back "when he can". He didn't show up either. My time, my inconvenience and the service they provide mean nothing to these guys. I do not understand how this company is run when they cannot get a simple job of attaching a property to a pole on a quiet street done. And guess what, they do not have a complaint process. Why would one need it anyway!!! As someone said in a comment, "You are going to be very frustrated and regretful with using OpenReach."
