Hmmm, were I to be engineering a massive outage, I’d test first. Now, I’m trying to think about a group...or a country...with the ability to do this. Perhaps a country who’s already purchased the president, the media, and many universities...naaaah, couldn’t be that.

Remember all of those chinese men of military age coming across the border unrestricted??

It is a fair bet that they have pretty good training in cyber warfare.

How do they all go out at the same time?

China is making moves or will Russia be blamed for this?

Remember, your dealing with the media-hype here. Solar flares and sun spots often equal cyber attacks in their eyes.

Just saying.

And this is why you still need a "wired" home phone (POTS or wired broadband).

I an constantly warning friends and relatives about the unreliability of cellular networks.

> How do they all go out at the same time?

The NSA now has to follow DEI guidelines when hiring.

It hit here at 1 am and service still isn’t back 100 now.

How long does it take a sun spot to get to earth and would it hit in the middle of the night?

I think someone at att screwed up bigly.

AT&T only...other carrier reports are people trying to call AT&T customers and thinking something is wrong with their carrier because they can’t get through.

Verizon here in the Knoxville area. We’re up and running.

Latest report is it’s AT&T. T-Mobil & Verizon saying they don’t have any outages. AT&T said they’re working on it.

Just change your phone settings to WiFi Calling and you’ll be good to go!

Just the US ???? Houston, we got a problem.

Test run

I'm dubious. As doctors say, "When you hear hoofbeats, expect horses...not zebras."

But, we'll see.
