The ongoing DDOS attacks are significantly disrupting this month's sub. As paying customers, it is reasonable to request compensation for the significant downtime.

The cause of the service disruption is irrelevant to customers; what matters is that we are not receiving what we paid for. Just like with undelivered food or online orders, the responsibility lies with the provider, not the consumer.

SE's competition recognizes this and offers time back for significant service interruptions, acknowledging their inability to fulfill their service commitment.

We can sympathize with SE's plight here. But it is not our burden to bear. We do not run the company, we just pay for the time. We are not getting what we paid for, therefore a refund on the time lost to these attacks is appropriate.
