  • Review of the Automatic Compensation Scheme
    Improving compensation for landline and broadband customers Review of the automatic compensation scheme Improving compensation for landline and broadband customers – Welsh overview Publication Date: 21 August 2020 Contents Section 1. Overview 1 2. Background to the scheme and improving service quality 3 3. Review of the automatic compensation scheme 6 4. Conclusions and next steps 17 Improving compensation for landline and broadband customers 1. Overview Access to high quality, reliable communications services is essential in today’s connected society, particularly as people adapt the way they live, work and communicate in the wake of Covid-19. But things can go wrong, which may affect people’s ability to get online and make calls. Making sure problems are resolved quickly and customers are compensated fairly where appropriate is an essential part of our Fairness for Customers work. In recent years, Ofcom has been implementing a strategy to drive service quality improvements by: (i) publishing service quality performance data; (ii) introducing tougher minimum quality of service standards for Openreach; and (iii) introducing automatic compensation for customers when things go wrong. This has led to significant improvements in the quality of broadband and landline services. Ofcom launched the telecoms industry’s first ever automatic compensation scheme (the scheme) for broadband and landline customers in April 2019. Under the scheme, customers receive compensation from their provider, without having to ask for it, for delayed repairs or provisions, and missed appointments. The scheme is voluntary, with the UK’s largest broadband and landline providers signed up. This report sets out our review of the first year of the scheme.
