- What do I do if I have a telecoms fault?
If you are unfortunate enough to experience a telecoms fault, telephone our Customer
Service Team on 0844 257 0844. We will carry out live line tests and advise you
on any simple equipment checks you can carry out yourself.
If following these checks you still wish to report a fault we will liaise with BT
Openreach engineers on your behalf to rectify the fault as soon as possible, keeping
you fully updated every step of the way. On certain occasions it may be possible to
offer you a temporary call diversion (TCD) facility. Please note time related charges
may apply.
- What are the Time Related Charges?
Time related charges (TRC’s) are charges we must inform you of before proceeding
to log a fault with BT Openreach. If work of any kind is carried out by a BT
Openreach engineer to rectify your fault and the fault is not on BT Openreach’s
Network, but with your equipment, you will be charged a call out fee of £105.00,
and an hourly rate of £55.00 per part hour thereafter. If the fault is found to
be with the line itself, then these charges will not apply. We strongly advise you
fully test and check all onsite equipment thoroughly before proceeding with the
logging of your fault. Please note these charges are made to us by BT Openreach
and apply to all communication providers that use BT Openreach’s Network.
- What is a temporary call diversion facility?
A temporary call diversion (TCD) is a facility where you may divert all your
calls from your faulty line to a destination number of your choice until the
fault has been resolved.
- How much does the temporary call diversion (TCD) facility cost?
The temporary call diversion (TCD) facility has a set up fee of £8.00, and then
the cost of all diverted calls received as detailed on your tariff pricing sheet.
This will be discussed at the time of your time related charges agreement upon
the logging of your fault with BT Openreach.
- How long will my fault take to be fixed?
This depends completely on the nature of the fault. Fault resolution times vary
depending on the nature of the fault. We will communicate directly with BT Openreach
at regular intervals, and keep you fully updated on the progress of the fault.
- Would my fault be fixed more quickly by BT Retail?
No. BT Openreach have provided legally binding undertakings to Ofcom that commit them
to providing equal levels of service to all BT Openreach customers.
- Once the fault has been resolved, can I seek compensation from Titan Telecom?
A fault can occur for reasons beyond our control at any time. We endeavour to provide
a high quality service to all our customers experiencing a fault, resolving any
fault as quickly as possible with minimal inconvenience and disruption. However,
for this reason we are unable to offer compensation.
