That's what we did. All customers got an email saying they automatically received credit...as opposed to an email where they needed to click a link to claim their credit.



What you guys did deserves recognition because it was a gift to those who did not even notice the outage.

We should also give credit to Netflix and those who at least choose to notify their members. It is almost like the "honor system."
