Re:O2 'to seek millions' in damages over data outage by tialaramex on Sunday December 09, 2018 @04:47PM (#18643481)
O2's announced compensation is:

* Two days of an airtime contract (so e.g. if you just pay them £30 per month, that's about £2 in value for you)

* 10% discount on two types of pay-as-you-go payments with no specific limit but expect one to be announced.

The latter in particular you can expect to be heavily abused, because O2 needs the PR. I'd be astonished if that limit is any lower than £100, meaning they're giving away a £10 value.

I have a feeling you need to call and waste a lot of time, so most people won't bother... They won't lose near that much in real life.

No. O2 pay-monthly customers got a text message from them saying the credit will be automatically applied.
