The issue follows from a major subsea fibre break (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/10\/broadband-outages-on-shetland-after-second-subsea-fibre-break-in-3-months.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>) that recently caused a protracted disruption to services during October 2025.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The service disruption did not impact all of the service providers on Shetland in the same way as others, such as Shetland Telecom and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>, which were able to harness an alternative subsea cable. But some, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a>, lacked the same level of resilience and thus their customers had to endure several weeks of disruption to connectivity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The regulator&#8217;s compensation scheme requires ISPs to pay out \u00a39.98 for each calendar day that the service is not repaired (starting two workings days after the incident began).<\/div>\n<p>Customers of the provider&#8217;s fixed broadband service should, however, have been able to harness <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>\u2019s system of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/03\/automatic-compensation-goes-live-for-uk-broadband-isp-consumers.html\">Automatic Compensation<\/a>. The scheme, which is supported by most of the major ISPs, requires providers to automatically compensate customers (cash or bill credits &#8211; within 30 days of the outage) for internet and phone connectivity mishaps (e.g. a total loss of service that last longer than 2 working days) and other delivery delays.<\/p>\n<p>However, a new report on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shetnews.co.uk\/2025\/12\/22\/chancing-luck-complaints-lack-compensation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shetland News<\/a> reveals that some of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a>&#8217;s customers have had to argue over incorrect compensation amounts, while others have been told that they will have to manually contact the provider to request it first.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A spokesperson for Vodafone said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can confirm customers in the Shetland area will need to call 191 to discuss compensation for outages.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In fairness, when it comes to compensation for service loss (i.e. one stemming directly from your ISP&#8217;s realm), then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> does state that consumers would normally have to report the fault to their provider first (this is generally always a good thing to do, even if just for evidential reasons). But outages that last longer than two working days are different.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>If your broadband or landline service stops working, you will simply <strong>have to report the fault to your provider<\/strong>. If the service is not fixed after two full working days, you would <strong>not need to ask for compensation<\/strong> or contact your provider again, as your provider has systems in place that mean you will start receiving compensation automatically if the repair takes too long<\/em>,&#8221; says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>. Indeed, in the case of the disruption to Vodafone&#8217;s service on Shetland, there was clearly a serious fault impacting their network, so that cannot be in any dispute.<\/p>\n<p>The best advice for those impacted and still awaiting compensation is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vodafone.co.uk\/help\/complaints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">file a complaint<\/a> with Vodafone, which clearly sets out (dates) the period of disruption. After that you should also lodge a complaint with Ofcom to make them aware that compensation has not been paid several months after the incident. We recommend doing all of this in writing, while keeping it short, polite, and highlighting the impacts it had.<\/p>\n<p>James Waring, VodafoneThree\u2019s government affairs manager, said last month that the company had already been able to offer Shetland customers \u201c<em>the compensation they are entitled to &#8230;. [and] also made gestures of goodwill on top of that<\/em>.\u201d Clearly some of their customers on Shetland would appear to disagree with that statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Internet and mobile provider Vodafone have been criticised for allegedly failing to correctly compensate some of their customers on Shetland, which is a remote UK subarctic archipelago that resides north of the Scottish mainland.
