for the people who are demanding refund, firstlty O2 priority will be to get the network back online, afterwards they will look at compensation if any. But also even if they are going to offer soem goodwill gesture, do not expect something stupid like £10 a day! on all likehood it will be either a % of your monthly line rental bill (or monthly top up) or network average. ie if average user is on £30 a month they will give compensation to everyone on that figure so hence some will get a bit more, bit less but on average will get what will be class as fair..
If O2 do that, there will be no point going to court with more claim esp for say loss of earning cause I bet most who are saying that will be on consumer / pay as you go, the court will just throw it out.
About moving to a different network, they are all the same, with orange and T-mobile since the network merge of mast being terrible at least down here in Wales. But some of you are saying moving to Vodafone, vodafone has had similar issue in the past, and also in future will happen again esp since O2 and Vodafone are sharing their masts now and more so in the future.
About not paying the bill, if you go through that option you have to contact credit agency and put the "mark" as bill is in dispute, it will than get taken off. but it is alot of work and no guarantee..
