Section 14:Service Care Levels

Part 1:Service Care Levels


Subpart 1:Product Description

RESIDENTIAL

Where BT provides telecommunication service or hires equipment to Residential customers, Standard Fault Repair service (Standard Care) is included in the rental. Prompt & Total Care are also available for telephone service and/or equipment at the charges shown. Customers with privately owned equipment may also arrange for BT to provide Standard, Prompt or Total Care maintenance.

BT carries out routine inspection and/or testing of the equipment in accordance with Bt's normal practice for that kind of equipment. When a customer or its agent telephones BT to report a fault in the equipment or service, BT will respond in accordance with the appropriate service. The customer should provide BT with a contact name(s) and telephone number which will be the customer's contact point throughout the response period to enable BT to advise on the progress being made to clear the fault. BT will provide advice by telephone including, where appropriate, tests and checks to be carried out by the customer and, where possible, carry out diagnostic checks from BT premises. If this does not diagnose or clear the fault BT will, if necessary, visit the customer's premises. Faults will be corrected by repair or, at BT's option, by replacement in whole or in part. Expended consumable items will be replaced and a charge will be made for the new items. Where a customer requests BT to carry out work to remedy a fault on equipment or apparatus which BT is responsible for maintaining, but no such fault is found to exist, the customer will be charged for the visit (Section 15:Visit Charges).

The levels of service available are defined in paragraph 8 of the BT Telephony Service Terms.
