FYI Noticed Cell network issue this morning

[Joe Dutchstar]

One of my Routers went off line this morning at around 5:00. Tried to troubleshoot unsuccessfully.
Starlink signal rock solid so good internet and mobile phone over internet.

Here is what the world is saying about ATT

T-Mobile and Verizon outages over the last 24 hours have spiked as well acording to downdetector.com. We have Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) and Visible+ on two iPhone 12's connected to a GL.iNet Beryl router and was having issues last night and early this morning. After trouble shooting the router, I concluded the problem was with either the phones after an IOS update yesterday or both cell networks. The same interruptions occured using just the phones trying to connect to Roku TV. Downdetector confirmed my suspicions!

Just heard the same on the TV in our dentist office in Los Algadones MX on a Mexican TV news service. My Verison phone is not working today but it did Tuesday here in Mexico, using dentist office wifi

No one is talking about how extensive the issue is yet, only speculation.

My thoughts exactly!

My AT&T phone was inoperable until about an hour ago. I'm in the Texas Hill Country.

Our AT&T cell service was down in TN as well.

I speculate a software update by A T & T did not go exactly as planned. Likely we'll never know.

Just and F Y I -- In the event of a cyber or other attack, ALL cell sites can be shut down at a moment's notice. Now what is one going to do for communications? A couple of tin cans and a string will work.

Interesting news story indicating that a solar ejection R3 that is documented around 12:30 last night. The Timing of this event is estimated to hit the earth coincident with the Cell towers going down.

It remains unclear if there is a connection between the two events.
