Vulnerable Customer Policy

Hello i came here as i am looking for a new ISP best way is to see what customers posts .

Just been reading this ,  https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2018/09/new-consumer-protection-rules-for-uk-phone-and-broadba...
 Communications providers must introduce policies for identifying vulnerable customers – such as people with learning or communication difficulties or those suffering physical or mental illness or bereavement – to ensure they are treated fairly. For example, broadband providers must now offer disabled users access to priority fault repair, third party bill management and accessible bills.

As a disabled person its about time ISP,s realize people like me rely on our service, what would PN answer

Hi @smiffy1

Sorry for the late reply, this post got stuck in our spam filters so I apologise for that.

We've for years had policies to make our services accessible to all, in fact we have a link to our Accessibility policy on every page. 

Some highlights include -

  • Next Generation Text Relay services for customers that have speech or hearing difficulties.
  • Alternative bill formats including Large Print, Braille and Audio invoices
  • Priority fault resolution (Telephone line only where certain criteria are met

We're also constantly reviewing our offerings to ensure that they remain accessible to all.
