Fixed line standards under review Article by April 24, 2021 Telecommunications company Cable & Wireless (Barbados) Ltd., the company that operates here as Flow, could be in line for new standards. The Fair Trading Commission (FTC) announced on Friday that it was in the process of reviewing the Standards of Service 2018-2020 for the company to determine whether the current standards were still applicable or new ones were needed. The Standards of Service framework sets out the minimum level of service that should be received by customers of Flow’s landline service. The commission has outlined a number of proposed changes to the Standards in its consultation paper and members of the public are encouraged to submit their comments on the themes presented, which include the continuance of the Standards of Service framework; the implementation of two new Standards, which would introduce benchmarks for Flow’s response time to customer complaints and requests for account cancellation and the introduction of automatic compensation for all of Flow’s Guaranteed Standards.
