Not only ATT but T-Mobile and Verizon customers too.

Primarily looks to be in the south from what heat maps I saw, kinda sorta near backbone hubs.

Could be a result of shit infrastructure/weather or an attack (which is also a result of shit infrastructure) but no real info afaik has been released.

I live in the upper midwest and we were hit by it too. Myself and a bunch of my co-workers were without service until about an hour ago. We're mostly AT&T and Verizon around here

Didn't a solar flare just hit us today? I assume that's the reason

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That would disproportionately impact further north not south.

Dam Yankee solar flare, always trying to take down the south. /s

I’m in Seattle, and cell service was out too. However, I do have a southern number. That couldn’t be it, could it?

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 1 points 8 months ago

No I don’t believe so, but the south wasn’t the only area with reports, just had some of the largest counts in the south
