Technical Help

We are sorry to learn that you're experiencing issues with your services, let's try to get you up and running as soon as possible by completing these simple checks.

What service are you experiencing an issue with?

Landline

Most telecom faults can be resolved by carrying out some simple equipment checks. Once you’ve completed these checks, if the fault persists, you’ll be able to login to Customer Zone where you can: Fast-track your fault Order an engineer investigation Apply a temporary call divert if you need one. It’s important to carry out these checks first. If an engineer visits your premises and finds that the fault is with your equipment you will be charged for the engineer visit. If the fault is found on the Openreach network, though, no charge will apply.
