Most of Wiser Tel's services do not have a minimum contract period but for those that do, we would be happy to discuss your requirements. A summary of our service contract periods are:


Some services take a little time to cancel, as they require us to work with special industry processes (such as ADSL). When you cancel your service, we aim to advise you of the time period from us receiving your cancellation request to the time at which the service is withdrawn. During this period, you remain liable for the costs of any services we provide.

Disconnections and cancellation of services

We reserve the right to suspend or cancel your service within the contracted timescales - for example, if you do not pay your bill.

Fault Repair

Faults can be reported around the clock via email at cs@wisertel.com. To report a fault to one of our representatives please call 03337720125 during office hours. However unless otherwise stated in your service agreement, engineers only attend to faults in normal working hours (Monday - Friday 9am to 5:30pm, excluding bank holidays). Faults can occur on our Network, or another operator's network, as well as your own equipment.

If the fault is reported during normal working hours, we will try to establish the location of the fault. We may request that you carry out some simple checks to help us establish the cause of the fault. Repairing faults on our network is part of the maintenance cover we provide with our service. If the fault is not on our network then we may not be responsible for its repair.

We reserve the right to charge for any abortive work or visit arising from faults over which we have no control. Should an engineer need to visit your premises we will agree this with you.
