O2 is seeking £100m in damages from Ericsson over the recent outage. Offering a crumb to customers in compensation will madden many.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

It won't make me angry @Bambino as luckily ON THAT DAY, I wasn't affected at all.

I had backup with a landline and Wifi to use messenger and whatsapp.

 

However, I was lucky. Millions of others weren't.

Wonder how long before someone the herd pops up asking why they've only been given 60p when o2 are getting millions.

I imagine O2 will have to cough up a hell of a lot more than two days credit for any large accounts who are completely dependent on data services for engineers or machine to machine applications.

 

Maybe time for Ericsson and other vendors to write in a grace period to guard against this happening again.

 

 

I reckon if I were a small business customer I'd probably be wanting more than 2 days service credit too.
