PSTN Care Levels For customers requiring the highest levels of support from BT Openreach we recommend upgrading the care level on your line. This ensures that should a fault occur they will respond a lot quicker than their normal service agreements would have provided. They take 3 working days to activate on a line, so they can't simply be purchased as and when a fault occurs.
ISDN Care Level 2	FREE	This is included as standard on ISDN 2 lines. This will operate during the period 0900 - 1800 hours Monday to Friday, and 0900 - 1200 Saturday, excluding Public and Bank Holidays. Where a fault is reported outside normal working hours, the fault will be treated as if it has been reported at the beginning of the next working day. BT will respond within 4 working hours of receipt of a fault report. If the fault is not cleared during this period BT will advise us of the progress being made to clear the fault.
ISDN Care Level 3	£3.45	This will operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week including Bank and Public Holidays. BT will respond within 4 hours of receipt of a fault report. If the fault is not cleared during this period BT will advise us of the progress being made to clear the fault. End users with Priority Fault Repair Service can transfer this service over as Care Level 3. A special around the clock phone number will be provided to customers, which will call an ICUK engineer directly. This is to be used in emergency situations only and kept for outside of office hours.
