O2 blast for 87p compo

O2 faced a backlash yesterday after some customers hit by Thursday’s network meltdown were offered just 87p compensation.

Consumer experts say the network should be paying at least £10 each to 32 million customers.

They were cut off from the internet and unable to send or receive texts.

O2 has offered just two days’ of credit – worth between 87p and £2.33.

Consumer activist Helen Dewdney said £10 compo would “show goodwill”.
