Verizon problems.
Interesting that when this was happening to Verizon, the following companies were also having trouble:
Playstation
Mortal Kombat
Genshin Impact (???)
Spectrum
Call of Duty
AT&T
T-Mobile
XBox Live
EA
Rocket League
Fortnite
etc.
I’m sure that they all share some common node or platform that was down for a while. But it is interesting that the Cellphone companies and game companies (where messages can be hidden between players, as Q showed us) were affected.
However, once you become a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.
