Openreach owns and manages the local access network that connects homes and businesses to telephone exchanges. We provide network services to Communications Providers.
The Openreach Builder's guide to telecommunications infrastructure and installation will assist land and property developers at every stage of the development. Follow the link to access the webpage or download the pdf.
If you want to provide communications for your new-build, conversion or regeneration project, you'll want to offer the best available network access and widest choice of providers. You'll want to connect to our network.
As cable is used for phone, TV and broadband services, if it's stolen people can't keep up with favourite programmes, connect to the internet or make calls - even to 999 for emergencies. We've teamed up with Crimestoppers and SmartWater to stop this from happening.
