The thread continued to say that customers will be receiving a credit "equivalent to yesterday’s wireless service fee" which will be applied to the May billing. It will be automatic so customers don't need to do anything to claim it. 

They noted earlier today that the outage was because of a software upgrade. They are conducting a "review to help prevent similar issues from happening again."

They concluded the message by apologizing again and saying that they'll work hard to earn back the trust of their customers.
