o New Openreach Procedure

Phone Line Diagnostics   Numbers —> Line Rental —> Support We have integrated the Openreach line diagnostic tools which allow you to run real-time tests on phone lines you manage for a multitude of fault conditions. These can tell you in a matter of minutes if a fault is detected and whereabouts on the network it is. Once the initial tests are complete, you have an option to escalate this fault to us even if a fault isn’t detected. We ask that you be as detailed as you can be in your descriptions of the fault. The fault form will also collect details from you such as on-site contact details and office opening hours should it be necessary for an engineer to visit. Any case that you raise will be sent as an email to our Support Team with a copy being sent to support email address listed within the control panel. ICUK will reply to this email with any updates. To access this new tool simply visit the line rental page of your control panel where there will be a green icon on the right hand side allowing you to access this feature. In the event that Openreach has developed a fault and the test fails you will still be given an opportunity to raise a case to us for further investigation. Continue reading »
