5.1 Repair & Maintenance
In order to carry out corrective maintenance of our network (e.g. for repairs planned maintenance or upgrades), we may need to suspend our service to you or parts of that service temporarily. Before we do this, we will give you as much notice as we can and we will do our best to restore the service as soon as possible. Although we attempt to provide you with the best possible service, we cannot guarantee that the service will always be fault free. However, we aim to correct all reported faults as soon as is reasonably possible.
We offer a number of self-serve options, and we recommend that prior to reporting a service fault to us that you initially check the following:
- Help & Support, here you can find articles and FAQ's in addition to links which allow you to get in touch with our Support Team
- Service Status, provides details of any known service-affecting issues
Please note if an engineer is required to visit your premises and the fault is found to be caused by your equipment, internal wiring or as a result of damage to our or BT equipment, a call out charge may be payable by you.
