Consultation closes: 27 August 2026

Status: Open

Consultation on Openreach commercial offers

In June 2026, Openreach notified a set of commercial offers for Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and Ethernet wholesale services. We promptly issued a Call for Inputs (CFI) to get stakeholder views on these offers and gathered evidence from market participants to inform our assessment of them.

In this consultation, we provide our provisional views on whether these offers raise competition concerns under the regulatory framework established in our Telecoms Access Review 2026-31 Statement.

We propose to direct Openreach to withdraw its Incremental New to Openreach Customer Offer. We are not proposing to intervene in relation to Openreach’s other notified offers.

The consultation closes at 5pm on 27 August 2026.

Responding to the consultation

Please submit responses using the response form no later than 5pm on 27 August 2026.
