Appendices
Appendix 1
Ogi Broadband Services

This Appendix 1 contains terms and conditions which are applicable to you only if you have taken the Ogi Broadband Service. This Appendix 1 is just about Ogi Broadband Services and does not apply to Ogi Alt Broadband Service Customers.

If you have signed up for Ogi Voice Services Appendix 3 will also apply.

If you are an Ogi Broadband Service Customer, please read the contents of this Appendix 1 carefully as the terms and conditions contained in it form part of the legally binding Agreement between you and us.

Summary

Ogi 150, Ogi 200, Ogi 300, Ogi 400, Ogi 500, Ogi 900 and Ogi 1Gig are the full fibre broadband to the consumer premises services we offer based on our own fibre network.

Contract Term

These services are offered as 12- and 24-month contracts.  The Contract Term applicable to this Agreement is set out in the Order Form.

Installing your Ogi Broadband Services

Installation will be completed by our engineers, or a company representing us. They will also install your Customer Premise Equipment (–CPE: your ONT and router/s), including the wifi router/s that will help distribute your connection around your house. Please note that there may be limits to where your CPE can be placed.

The wifi router/s is/are included as part of your Ogi Broadband Services, but you can also choose to use your existing wifi router/s if you’d prefer to do so.

The Order Form will set out the type of installation we have agreed during the order process that you will receive and any associated costs. Ogi may be in touch to discuss any changes to the installation approach with you.

We will remind you of your installation time: there may be a penalty for us if we miss you, or a charge for you if aren’t at home as planned. Please see our Price Guide for all the details.

Find out more about the installation process.

If your premises has already been connected

If you have equipment that has already been installed by us, we are likely to still undertake an installation visit to check that all your CPE is working as expected.

Your Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)

Your Customer Premises Equipment include an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and your wifi router/s.

Your CPE will be supplied and installed by us and remains our property of throughout the duration of the Agreement.

The ONT and router/s will need standard plug sockets. These should be within 1 meter of the CPE.

The CPE will request an Internet Protocol (IP) Address and we will also use this opportunity to find your Media Access Control or MAC Address to allow us to identify any other CPE in your property and help to support you with any future connectivity issues you may have.

If you have chosen to use your own wifi router/s instead of our partner wifi router/s, we will only be responsible for supporting our service up to the ONT. This is the Wires Only service mentioned in more detail below, which must be selected during the order process. We will offer you an Ogi Eco Voucher as a thank you to customers choosing the Wires Only service, as it’s kinder to the environment.

Returning your router/s to us
  • Your CPE – including your ONT and router/s – remains our property throughout the term of the Agreement.
  • At the end of the Agreement, you are required to return your router/s to us. The process is simple: we will send you a pre-paid postage pack all you need to do is put the hardware into this package and follow the instructions included to return the kit to us to recycle. You will be charged if you do not return the router/s. Please read our Price Guide to find out more.

The Speed of your Ogi Connection
The speed achieved by you can vary for a range of reasons, including how much traffic there is on your local network and wider issues on the internet network across the UK and beyond.

Our advertised download and upload speeds are achievable for at least 50% of our customers during peak hours (8pm-10pm every day). As these are average speeds, they are not guaranteed.

The minimum download speed you can expect to receive during peak time is around half your advertised speed. We are not able to guarantee a minimum upload speed to you.

Here is a summary of the speed you can expect to receive from us:

Service Options
Wires Only

If you do not want to receive a wifi router/s from us for any reason, you can choose a Wires Only service during the order process.

A Wires Only service includes a fibre broadband service that terminates at your ONT.

Because wifi router/s are a standard part of our package cost, the monthly fee charged to you will be our standard rate for that service.

We will not provide your router/s, but we will give you an Ogi Eco Voucher from as a thank you for minimising the need for hardware, as it’s kinder to the environment.

If you choose a Wires Only service, we will not be responsible for the performance of your router/s.

A Wires Only service can only be taken at the beginning of a new Contract Term.

If you have previously received a wifi router from us, you will need to return this to us in full working condition at the end of your existing Contract Term or a charge will be made for unreturned equipment. Please see our Price Guide for more details.

If you would like to upgrade from a Wires Only service, you will need to end your existing Contract Term and start a new Contract Term with us.  You will not be held to your existing Contract Term.

Appendix 3
Ogi Voice Services

This Appendix 3 contains terms and conditions which are applicable to you only if you have taken the Ogi Voice Service. This Appendix 3 is just about Ogi Voice Services and does not apply if you have not taken the Ogi Voice Service.

If you are an Ogi Voice Service customer, please read the contents of this Appendix 3 carefully as the terms and conditions contained in it form part of the legally binding Agreement between you and us.

Summary

The Ogi Voice Service is a voice service that we offer home or residential customers for domestic use, using Ogi or Openreach’s full fibre network, depending upon whether you are an Ogi Broadband Service or Ogi Alt Broadband Service Customer.

Although your telephony experience will be similar to a normal telephone service, Ogi Voice Service doesn’t rely on traditional copper phone lines. It provides you with a telephony-like service over the internet.

Please note that as our Ogi Voice Services are delivered over the internet they will not work if there is a power cut or if your internet fails. Therefore, they are unsuitable if you have a personal alarm or telecare system and you will be unable to make 999, emergency or any calls in these circumstances. You should ensure that you have an alternative way to connect your telecare system and of making a phone call in an emergency such as a mobile phone or a traditional landline as a backup to your Ogi Voice Service.

Service Availability

The Ogi Voice Service is delivered using a telephony system hosted by us and embedded into our network. It is connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network via a third-party provider.

The Ogi Voice Service is only offered as an add-on to our Ogi Broadband Services and Ogi Alt Broadband Service.

Contract period

You can choose to receive the Ogi Voice Service during the order process or at any time while the Agreement is in force, except during the last 30 days before the Agreement terminates. Adding the Ogi Voice Service to your Ogi Broadband Service or Ogi Alt Broadband Service will not affect the length of the Agreement.

You can choose to stop receiving the Ogi Voice Service at any time, by giving us at least One Months’ notice.

The Ogi Voice service will activate immediately. If you request a change to your call package this will take effect at the beginning of the next billing period.

Your number

You can choose to either ‘port’ your existing telephone number to our Ogi Voice Service or receive a new telephone number from us.  If you choose to have a new number, you will be assigned a geographic number. You will be ‘renting’ this number from us, and the costs involved will form part of your monthly service charge.

If requested, the number porting process will be handled by our chosen third-party partner, and generally has a 5-day lead-time, though can take longer. A temporary will be provided upon activation for you to use while porting is taking place.

If you terminate your Ogi Voice Service and would like to port your number away from us, we may charge you for the administration costs involved. Please see our Price Guide for more details.

Call Rating

Rates will be applied to each call based on a rating table, the time of day, duration of the call, and the call plan you have chosen. Please see our Price Guide for more details.

Calls to 999, 112, 101, 111 and ‘free to caller’ numbers (beginning 080) will not be charged. This includes numbers with the 116 prefix.

Billing

If you decide to cancel your Ogi Voice Service, we will stop charging you from the agreed cancellation date.  Any charges incurred during the final period will be included on your next bill. We will give you a credit on your bill for any number rental charged in advance relating to the period after the Ogi Voice Service terminates.

Cancellations

See section 11 of the main T&Cs for more information.

The Ogi Voice Service is an additional service that we only provide to our Ogi Broadband Service customers.

Please see Appendix 1 or 2, as applicable, for more details.

If you add Ogi Voice Services after your Ogi Broadband Service or Ogi Alt Broadband Service has been installed, we will activate your Ogi Voice Service remotely within two working days.

Once you have connected your telephone equipment, you can use your Ogi Voice Service in accordance with this Agreement, including the package and barring level we have agreed with you.

We will not, and our third-party partners will not, connect any customer telephony wiring or equipment. This is your responsibility.

  • Ogi Voice Evenings and Weekends package. This includes evening and weekend calls to landlines and UK numbers and on-net calls anytime.

Any calls outside these packages, if allowed, will default to the advertised amount per destination. Please see our Price Guide for more details.

The time periods are defined as:

Evenings        Mon-Fri, before 7.00am, after 7.00pm

Call Capping

For calls outside your package, we will set a cap per month.  Our default cap is £20 per billing cycle, or you can request to set this to £5 if that is your preference. If you wish to change the default cap, you must tell us when you order your Ogi Voice Service.

If you exceed your cap, we will terminate any calls in progress, and you won’t be able to make any further charged calls until the cap resets in the next billing cycle. Reaching your cap will not affect your ability to make calls included within your plan.

At any time you are in receipt of the Ogi Voice Service, have been in receipt of the Ogi Voice Services for at least one month and have paid at least one bill in respect of the Ogi Voice Services, you can request to increase your cap by increments of £10 to a maximum limit of £60. The new cap will run on a monthly basis, and the associated costs included in that month’s bill.
