众议院通过互联网中断自动退款法案

众议院于12月22日通过众议院第178号法案,旨在为互联网和电信用户提供因长时间服务中断的自动退款。该措施涵盖后付费和预付费客户,无需他们提交请求。它解决了菲律宾互联网不可靠的反复问题。

12月22日,众议院通过了众议院第178号法案,即《互联网和电信服务中断及干扰自动退款法》。法案提出人Zamboanga众议员Marlesa Hofer-Hasim指出:“这会导致经济损失、不便以及不公平的收费做法,特别是对远程工作者、在线学生和预付费用户而言。”该立法应对菲律宾互联网不可靠的挑战,根据OpenSignal的数据,菲律宾在2024年全球可靠性排名中位居最差之列之一。

退款将自动按服务不可用时长比例计算,当单月中断总时长达到或超过24小时时触发。例外情况包括提前至少48小时公布的计划维护(每月不超过48小时)、自然灾害如台风或地震,或由第三方或用户自身引起的干扰。对于非计划中断,电信公司和互联网服务提供商必须自动调整账单,由国家电信委员会(NTC)和信息与通信技术部(DICT)监督。

预付费用户明确纳入,确保平等保护。客户仍可对退款计算提出异议。违规者将面临每项违规5万至20万披索的罚款,屡次违规可能导致许可证暂停或吊销,并强制支付欠款。该法案预计通过将责任转嫁给提供商来加强消费者保护。
