Compensation for NBN failed equipment & outage

[mark_wells]

Hello,

My NBN connection (and home phone) was unavailable for a week due to an electrical storm damaging the FTTC connection box that needed to be replaced. How do I go about applying for a refund for this outage ? I am on the NBN 100 plan, and expect compensation for the period that no service was available. I did have a ticket raised via the support helpdesk, but ultimately it was NBN Co (and not TPG Engineers) that replaced the box.
