They could garner so much good will by just slapping a free week of subtime on everyone's accounts as an apology for the instability. I don't think anyone here is actually asking for literally 25 cents to be deposited into their accounts like some disingenuous strawmanning fanboys are pretending is the case in this thread. People just want the time that they paid for and were barred from using, to be refunded. This is a simple request.

OP's mistake was writing it on the official forums, which are full of fanboy-lawyers who waste precious time they'll never get back defending the unresponsive multi-billion dollar company for free. The consumers in this thread acting like it's fine for a company to take your money and then only perform "some" or "most" of the agreed upon service are why everything's getting worse. They just accept it and never demand any better. No spine. Very sad people. Unfortunately their beliefs affect the market for us all.
