Probably nothing to worry about but something to keep your eyes on, we've been told by a number of people to expect a major cyber-attack inside the USA. The interesting about this report is the outages have hit AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile and their discount brands like Cricket, etc.

No biggie, I’m going back to sleep.

If the Internet was suddenly shut down, over half the population would go crazy................

Thanks.
My AT&T just ‘blinked’ for 1 minute when I clicked into the post.

Timing is everything.

“AT&T coming back online for some customers after possible second major outage this week”

Since I saw the initial notice about the outage, I’ve been monitoring Twitter, which is a good place to get breaking news, even if some of it is fake, evidently other carriers like Verizon and T-Mobile have also been having issues.

Like I said, probably nothing to get worried about but it’s interesting and something to keep your eyes on.

I haven’t been able to connect to AT&T for data for the last two hours. I’m in SW Missouri.

My phone and hotspot went down yesterday afternoon and did not come back until a few hours ago. Verizon from Eastern Washington.

Put your Smartphone on Hotspot “tether” at “settings”.

You’ll have your own tower!

Here in central Indiana we got outages, warnings came from the radio. But my AT&T service is fine, even throughout the night - I got up several times and checked the phone for latest CBB updates.

I’m watching Bloomberg Financial Network this morning and they just reported about the outages, no reason given, just that most major carriers are experiencing issues.

Call me if you don’t get this message.

Only Half?? There’s a South Park episode you should watch about the internet going down. One of my favorites.

[Red Badger]

People older than 40 could handle it, youngers not so much..............

Verizon is working here in Texas.

If this were a major cyber-attack and cellular networks were down for an extended period of time, I would not be worried about when the service would be restored, I would be worried about what would be coming next, everything from social unrest to some type of major event that happens when everyone is distracted by a cellular outage.
