Can I get money back?
Yes, if your broadband service is down for an extended period, you may be entitled to compensation. Ofcom's rules, in place since 2019, mean providers must automatically compensate customers for delays to repairs, missed appointments, and loss of service. Check your provider's policy and Ofcom's guidelines for details.
