re: AT&T giving customers a huge $5 credit to compensate for the outage last Thursday.

$5 is completely reasonable and is likely more than average day’s service for many. Everyone wants free shite.

Whole lot of pushovers in this thread. I don't see anybody asking for free shite, I see people calling $5 the pittance it is.

We aren't paying for cell service by the day, we pay by the month. If you don't deliver a month, I'm not paying for a month. Do you think they'll turn your service off at night when you don't need your phone and charge you half as much per month? frick no they won't.

If I can't make a call for 6+ hours I want 50% off my bill automatically. If I have to call in to get a credit then I want 100% off that month's bill instead. If I get neither then I'm switching to another company. Simple as that.

We used to have several business landlines with AT&T. Then we had a service outage for 6 straight DAYS. No storm, no nothing, it was straight up incompetence on their part. And they offered a credit for 6 days of credit. L O fricking L. You want me to pay 80% of my bill when my business couldn't receive calls for a fricking week? According to some of you folks that would have been fair. I haven't given AT&T another dime since, and this latest shitshow proves that a wise decision.
