I couldn't agree more.

I was one of the ones that suffered with the 'outage' and yes it was a bit inconvenient but compensation??? Get over it!

How about this - my monthly tariff is £35. So thats about £1.16 a day, the phone was out for roughly half a day sooooo I'm going to piss and moan until I get my 58 pence compensation!!

Interesting, does anyone ever check out their service level agreements when they sign a contract? At a guess vodafone offer a 99.9999% availability target and achieve this all the time.

mine is still out, it keeps on coming on for short spirts and then dropping out again.

Don't really care about compensation as long as it doesn't go on for too much longer, these things happen. We'll only end up paying for it anyway in the long run if they have to shell out tens of thousands of pounds to customers.

I got a about 30% off my O2 bill when a local mast broke due to the snow 🙂 The power of twitter.

When my Virgin connection was dead for about three days they gave me my months rental back (a whole ten pounds). I think they thought that would stop me complaining.

We were sent an email
[i]Vodafone network hit by break-in
Vodafone's mobile network has been disrupted following a break-in at its exchange centre in Basingstoke.

The company said some customers had lost voice, text and internet access.

Engineers are working to fix the problem, according to a Vodafone statement.[/i]
TBH I didn't notica any problem but then then I don't phone people much, they phone me :/

Now I couldn't contact a mate on Saturday because apparently there was a Vodaphone 'outage' - his not mine, did anyone else suffer a pre-theft outage on Saturday - are they being hit both physically and digitally in response the vast tax write-off they received?

Break in today almost certainly a professional targeted theft of specialist network equipment to be shipped abroad. I've heard (anecdotally) that something like a bulldozer was used...

The Register has a bit more detail.
