We do this to make sure you're getting a stable broadband connection and it's normal to get varying speeds or occasional drops in your connection during this time.
We ask that you please bear with us and keep your router switched on at all times; this helps us gather important data about your line so we can give you the best service possible.
Q: I want to make my landline ex-directory

Openreach are responsible for maintaining and installing new connections on behalf of the UK’s broadband providers
Try a different website- Open your browser and navigate to a different website. If it works, then the original site you were trying to access might be down.
Clear your browser's cache- Your browser temporarily stores images and text from web pages in a storage area called a cache. This is designed to help your computer "remember" web pages so they load faster when you access them. Sometimes when web pages change your cache can interfere with the pages, making them load more slowly or display incorrectly.
Update your browser- Using older versions of your browser can cause loading issues – especially if you’re watching videos or looking at pages with lots of graphics. Downloading the latest version of your browser – Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer – may help. If this doesn't fix the problem, try a different browser altogether.
Reboot your router- Try restarting your router. Turn it off at the mains and leave it off for at least 30 seconds before turning it back on.
Do I need an aerial to use the television?
An aerial is required to watch both live and digital terrestrial channels (e.g. BBC One, BBC Two) however there is plenty of content available without the requirement for an aerial, such as: additional HD channels and over 30 applications like Prime Video, Rakuten and YouTube.
How do I set up my television?
Getting set up with your TV box only takes a couple of minutes and is super simple! Plug in the power, HDMI and aerial cables, follow the on screen instructions on your TV to connect to your home Wi-Fi and scan for your Freeview channels and your setup is complete.
