Tens of thousands of AT&T customers were left without service for hours on Thursday for their home phone, internet and mobile phone services, according to Downdetector.

The outages started popping up just before 3:30 a.m. ET, according to a graph shown on the website that tracks outages. Just before 2 p.m. ET, the number of reports had declined drastically to nearly 4,900 after spiking at more than 73,000 just after 9 a.m. ET.

Most users still impacted, 51%, say they are having issues with mobile phone service. Forty percent of customers currently reporting being affected say they have no signal at all, and 9% of users say their mobile internet is down.

"Should get a stimulus check for this," one man wrote on the website.

I’m not certain it’s the least of our problems, but it’s way, way down on the list!

Fingers crossed outage is not the result of a directed energy weapon.

I had a little slowness off and on for a few days before a lot of people were affected, but I never lost service.

Everything was blamed on a solar flare, but spaceweather.com said otherwise. I did get wind that there was a problem with a tower in St. Louis.

Everything is running better than ever for me, but some family hada lot of issues. They use iphones and I don’t so i don’t know if that has anything to do with it or not. I am a very heavy user so it’s common for them to scale me back a bit and that’s what I thought it was. But they had me using my limit 24 hours after the cycle flipped so that doesnt make sense.
