The bill would require telecom companies and ISPs to automatically credit customers’ bills when internet service is down for 24 hours or more in a month, unless the downtime is due to scheduled maintenance, a natural disaster, or a third‑party incident. Companies that do not comply could be fined up to ₱200,000 per violation and may lose their operating license for repeated offenses.
