Can I get compensation for a broadband outage?
If you’re suffering issues with your internet, call or mobile services then you may be entitled to compensation.
You’ll need to make sure you report the outage so your provider is aware of the problem, but then you will likely be entitled to compensation automatically.
The Automatic Compensation Scheme means broadband and landline customers get their money back from their provider when things go wrong.
You don’t have to ask for it, and it should just be given to you automatically.
Internet firms usually pay out £8 for each day that broadband and phone service is not repaired after two full days of no service.
