How do I request service credits after a long internet outage?

Extra tips
What to look for: Outage start and end times, ticket or reference numbers, and a billing adjustment or credit request option in the provider account.
Before you change anything: Write down the outage dates and roughly how long service was down. Have the account number and service address ready. Use official app or website support only. Do not pay anyone who claims they can force a credit for a fee.
