well, sue them?

The only legal recourse he could go for is to recover the value of 1/30th of a paid month of service that the company did not provide -- or he could ask for a refund of the amount he paid. Since that's on the order of less than a dollar, I imagine a lawyer or barrister would look at you like you were crazy and a civil court judge would throw it out as frivolous and contemptuous.
If his lack of internet access caused an interruption in some critical service, such as his ability to operate his business, then he might be able to sue for lost profits and that would definitely not be frivolous... but something tells me he's not a businessman (probably the AOLspeak ;-)). In any case, I imagine any self-respecting provider would include a disclaimer that their internet access has no implied fitness for merchantability or suitability for a specific purpose and that it is provided "as-is" -- long story short, if you pay for it, you get the good with the bad, and you always have the power to stop paying for it to find some other provider if it doesn't live up to its claims. | |

alternatively, paying them a little earlier wouldn't hurt either if it's a flatrate.
