But smaller cases like that are usually settled privately.<\/p>\n<p>Other mistakes can also be made, such as when AAISP were hit by an erroneous TRC bill of \u00a325,200 just for repairing a single faulty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> &#8220;<em>fibre broadband<\/em>&#8221; line (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/08\/oops-bt-tries-to-charge-isp-gbp25k-for-fixing-a-broadband-line.html\">here<\/a>), which ended up taking quite a bit of time to resolve. The usual approach is for a TRC to be agreed with the ISP in advance and not levelled after the fact.<\/p>\n<p>However the new complaint centres on whether or not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> was complying with the regulator\u2019s rules when they issued related SFI \/ TRC charges to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> between 1st April 2011 and 30th June 2014. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> believes that the charges &#8220;<em>were not cost-orientated<\/em>&#8221; and were therefore &#8220;<em>inconsistent<\/em>&#8221; with BT\u2019s basis of charges obligations in relation to these services.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk\/enforcement\/competition-bulletins\/open-cases\/all-open-cases\/cw_01182\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Ofcom Statement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>TRCs are services involving engineering work which is not included within service level agreements with BT. SFIs are services requested by CPs for further investigation of potential broadband faults on MPF and SMPF lines where no fault has been found using the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> line test.<\/p>\n<p>On 7 October 2010, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> published its 2010 Review of the Wholesale Local Access Market. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> found that BT had significant market power (\u201cSMP\u201d) in the UK market for WLA services and imposed a number of SMP obligations on BT. In relation to TRCs and SFIs, Ofcom imposed \u2018basis of charges\u2019 obligations on BT, requiring it to base charges for these services on forward looking costs.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2014, Ofcom published its 2014 Fixed Access Market Reviews. Ofcom found that BT continued to have SMP in the provision of wholesale local access services and again imposed a number of SMP obligations on BT. In relation to TRCs and SFIs, Ofcom removed the basis of charges obligations and instead imposed charge controls on each service.<\/p>\n<p>This dispute concerns allegations by TalkTalk that the amounts BT charged it for TRCs and SFIs, in the period between 1 April 2011 and 30 June 2014 (\u201cthe relevant period\u201d), were not cost-orientated and were therefore inconsistent with BT\u2019s basis of charges obligations in relation to these services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ofcom will now have to investigate whether the amount that BT charged for TRCs and SFIs was in keeping with their SMP obligations and, if not, then the telecoms giant could end up being forced to repay any incorrectly levelled amounts to TalkTalk.<\/p>\n<p>We can see this case attracting interest from other ISPs too and Ofcom has called on any providers with a relevant concern to notify them by 16th June 2016, which must be accompanied by any evidence of the dispute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ofcom has opened a new investigation after TalkTalk complained about the amount of money being charged by Openreach (BT) for their Special Fault Investigation (SFI) engineer service and Time Related Charges (TRC), which are often used to resolve customer phone or broadband problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,69,74],"class_list":["post-11830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-bt-openreach","tag-talktalk"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
