Did the Russian jambing gear, go global

...i.e., not tinfoil nonsense. I should also add that we reportedly have our enemies making open threats and/or warnings against us, and that’s not even counting the domestic knuckleheads running around out here.

It sounds like backhoe fade to me.

My daughter and I are on the same account. She works about 30 miles north of where I work. Her phone worked fine all day, mine did not. Curious.

Window jambing? Or door jambing?

Show me an AT&T outage, aside from inter-carrier connections, please.

Mine's been out since around noon central time. No big deal for me since it's too cold to get out much -- my Wifi calling at home has been fine because my Spectrum internet service is fine.

Them being down this long is NOT a good look. Verizon may have to use straight characters for their home internet ads.

Can you hear me now?

My neighbor’s I phone was down but my android is up.
Both Verizon.

I had horrible problems with home internet AT&T service. I ditched them about 6 or 7 years ago.

As far as cell service goes, 16 or 17 years ago after my wife and I moved to where we are now (close to 20 years ago), I got tired of my T-Mobile service not being good in this area. So I asked all the teenage friends of our kids who'd visit our kids which of them had good service at and near our house. Hands down Verizon was the best. So I switched to them and haven't had a problem with them. (Obviously with wifi calling if I'm in the house it's about internet service.) But I'm talking also about depending on cell service while walking around on our 1.5 acre property away from the wifi, and about walking the 1.2 miles I walk around the neighborhood a few times a week.

Verizon's been great. Until today. LOL

I was only referring to today.

Russia? How about Denmark?
