Compensation re Outage 02/02/2012

[link to this post]

Are we not entitled to compensation for the inconvenience caused by the loss of service this morning ?

I've been offered, effectively 23p frown

You're not on an assured level service so technically no compensation is due to you for less than a days outage/slow speeds. When my exchange had a 3 day outage, the affected customers were offered 25p; so what you've been offered is much better!
I appreciate that it won't make up for the inconvenience caused to you, but it's better than nothing.

How did you get the 23p??

Hi kasg,

I just raised a ticket asking if we were entitled to compensation.

OK thanks, I probably won't bother. I guess if they worked out compensation on an hourly basis, based on a month's subscription covering 720 hours, 23p would actually be very generous!

As we seem to be living in a compo culture frown

the next thing is that someone will start a class action against Plusnet.

erm no.. it's broadband not gas/elec/water

your life won't fall apart...

Maybe, but that is entirely irrelevant! If there had been a breach of a contract to provide a service (which I accept, in this case, there almost certainly hasn't been, legally) then one would be entitled to compensation. It doesn't matter how "essential" someone deems that service to be.

You could sign up to a service with a suitable Service Level Agreement, to cover you for the future.

Alternatively you could get a second line from another ISP probably cheaper tongue

. Then load share in normal circs.
