Senator Jinggoy Estrada has filed a bill seeking to require public telecommunication entities (PTEs) and internet service providers (ISPs) to refund subscribers if service interruptions have accumulated at least 24 hours in a month.

Senate Bill 2074 or the proposed Refund for Internet and Telecommunications Service Outages and Disruptions Act orders PTEs and ISPs to institute a mechanism that will enable them to automatically refund or adjust the bills of their postpaid and prepaid subscribers whenever there are service interruptions.

Estrada, vice chairperson of the Senate committee on public services, said the measure intends to implement fair charging of services of telcos and ISPs to the consumers.
