    You complain to Orange. You may need an engineers report to back up your claim, best to go in politly first and hope for goodwill before the "I know my rights speech". If they don't want to know, then you need to really know your rights before making a complaint have a good read through this https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3073916 so at least you know how to go about it.
