This is important so we can get an accurate picture of where the disruption is and whether it\u2019s affecting our network or equipment provided by others. That in turn will lead to a quicker fix.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile if you spot one of our poles down or overhead wires hanging dangerously low, or any damage to our network, you can report this directly to us here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.com\/help-and-support\/damage-health-and-safety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.openreach.co.uk\/damage<\/a> and via our freephone number &#8211; <strong>0800 023 2023<\/strong> (option 1).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In these situations, it&#8217;s not uncommon for Openreach to declare a status of <strong>Matters Beyond Our Reasonable Control<\/strong> (MBORC) in the worst hit areas, which means that there may be a delay to general service provision and upgrade work while engineers are prioritising repairs.
