Ok Causality of internet outage in that are for 25 minutes needs to be FULLY ascertained. This is 35 miles north of a major metropolitan area— Pittsburgh, and just DOES NOT HAPPEN.
Some shutdown was made to happen— who could do that, provably?
35 miles is forever in cellular terms, large LTE cells radius is 1 to 3km and small cells from .3 to 1km. Butler has a population of 13,000 and those two cellular towers you see on the Farm Show grounds are AT&T and Verizon that serve that area. That’s it. No wonder they were saturated during an event where thousands of phones were in use.

A dumptruck with the bed up driving under the fiber optic lines from a Comcast head end will tear them right off the poles and not only knock out Comcast internet customers, but also many cellular towers too because Comcast leases fiber to all of the cellular carriers (including Verizon).
This happened in Manassas, Virginia about 2 weeks ago and my internet was down for almost 12 hours as they repaired the damage. I live about 8 miles from Manassas. Not only that, but texts and calls were having trouble going through and data was not working at all on my Tmobile phone.
