About Openreach

Openreach looks after the first mile of the local network - the wires and fibres that connect homes and workplaces to the local telephone exchange, where your Communications Provider's national network takes over.

The ability to communicate is a crucial life skill, and through its First Mile programme, Openreach is committed to making sure as many children as possible are equipped with the communication skills they need to secure the very best start in life.
