After Massive Nationwide Service Outage, Guess How AT&T Is Going to Help Customers

On Thursday, telecommunications provider AT&T experienced a massive, nationwide service interruption that lasted almost 12 hours.

Thankfully, it didn't seem to be a cyber attack, just network errors, but in the age of cell phones and constant connectivity, many people were very unhappy.

So AT&T is trying to make things better.

Emphasis on 'trying.'

The AP reports:

AT&T says it will give affected customers $5 each to compensate for last week’s cellphone network outage that left many without service for hours.

The Dallas-based company said on its website that customers will get the $5 credit on their account within two billing cycles. The credit does not apply to AT&T Business, prepaid service or Cricket, its low-cost wireless service. AT&T said prepaid customers will have options available to them if they were impacted, although it did not elaborate on what those options might be.

The outage knocked out cellphone service for thousands of its users across the U.S. starting early Thursday before it was restored. AT&T blamed the incident on an error in coding, without elaborating, and said it was not the result of a cyberattack.

Some Twitter/X users were not impressed at the offering:

This writer has AT&T for cell and internet service. It's not inexpensive, and $5 seems a little on the cheap side.

That's never going to happen again. Not in this economy.

A lot of people felt this way.

No, they're not.

There's the silver lining.

Jeez is about right.

The optics of this are so bad.

Others decided to have some fun with it:

You can get like half a Big Mac for that price.

That's from 'Trading Places' for those of you that don't get the joke.

Laughed out loud.

It's like a golden ticket.

Another great reference.

Just don't spend it all in one place.

Yay.

This gif cracks us up.

The news is spreading on Twitter/X like wildfire.

Remember, it's a credit on accounts, so you don't even get $5 to spend on anything but your AT$T bill.

It was like an episode of 'Little House on the Prairie' around here.

Maybe the outcry will get AT&T to change its mind. Don't hold your breath, though.
