yeah we desrve something it disrupts peoples LIVES! i could not contact my wife and daughter in canada for 2 days and even after the sky news appearance saying it was fixed it wasn't!!! i am here looking after my sick fater and this is my only connection to my wife and child i think its disgusting!
Sorry but have you not heard of land lines.... or Skype..... or one of the many other services...
I was on holiday when it went down. I could not use my phone, but daughter and wife could... Funny, but they are both on o2 as well. We were in a caravan, so you can guess how close to each other we were....
Had none of them worked, then I would have had to find a landline to call my old mother, to ensure she was OK...
If your car breaks down. Do you expect the manufacture to pay compensation ????
I would guess that's a NO.....
So why do people jump straight into "I WANT COMPENSATION" when something stops working.....
I guess a lot of people posting are young and have no idea how to survive without a mobile....
I am old enough to remember when there were only a couple of people on our street who had landlines in there houses.... A mobile had never even been tought of.
We did not find out my father had died till we went back to hospital the next day..... As they had no contact no for us, and the police were too busy to call and inform us as it was not a important matter as he had been in hospital for weeks.....
So while I am sorry your father was sick (hope he's better). YOUR MOBILE IS NOT THE ONLY MEANS OF COMMUNICATION....
You mobile working will not keep him alive.
Disruption is part and parcel of our lives....
To ALL looking for compo....
Think of ALL the people who have been flooded out this year... Some round us 3 times in the last month....
Now how does being without a mobile for a few hours, compare to that.....
A mobile is not the be all and end all in your life.
