Ignoring letting it expire in the first place.

The surprising part is it took over 24 hours to restore service. I currently still have 3G only, and that's struggling (apparently 4G will follow).

I suspect it was a root CA (they possibly had a private PKI) that expired - I saw a tweet suggesting that they had to manually apply a fix to every deployment of the software, which is consistent with having to change the trust chain.

Still only 4G here too. Apparently we can expect it to return tomorrow morning. O2 were asked if we'll be compensated. They said they'll "apologise in an O2 way" but couldn't confirm what an "O2 way" is.

I assume that means they’ll apologise by ramping up your monthly rate.

Probably 10% off some ticketing scam they have running.

If O2 is like most phone companies, my reaction to this threat would be to beg them not to.

Apologise in an O2 way? Gosh are we back to BT era.

See what we can do. O2.

They are a bunch of O2 thieves.
