ICE said on Monday that pay out up to ¢7.5 million colones in compensation to the 3.181 landline and 1.398 internet customers.
In addition, the Superintendencia de Telecomunicaciones (Sutel) – the telecom regulator – said on Monday that ICE could not charge for service all Hatillo 8 customers who are affected by the Cirncunvalación problem.
