Digital voice

[Lally1]

I’ve been without a landline for 6 months, after numerous calls to BT and resetting digital voice numerous times as well as the hub I was at a loss at what next to do , I had no dial tone at all , today an engineer has hopefully fixed the problem by putting in a new router. Does anyone know how to claim compensation and is there a cap as to how much I should get. It’s been soul destroying as I’m disabled and just felt vulnerable without a landline as backup

I’ve done an online chat, and made a complaint, . I’m still unsure whether I’ll get the compensation from September until now as it’s amounted to £1800 , I have to wait 30 days so we’ll see

Many thanks it caused me so much anxiety, every time I phoned them they’d have me resetting the router and the phones , being disabled this absolutely exhausted me
