Nationwide phone outages this morning, no word from major carriers

I’ve seen some theories that there is an outage with Cisco, the backbone of most of these carriers.  Others are going full doomer/Leave the World Behind and saying the solar flare is here.

Oh, ATT....I was like bullshit, because my shit has been ringing since 6

I actually have an anecdote here but I learned my lesson about telling y'all too much.

Anyway, they suck, customer service sucks, techs suck (trust me, I know), and their shitty treatment of long time customers vs potential new customers is laughable (but that's most companies)

[Insipid]

Yep, no cell service for me.

My mind went to Chinese and Russian interference, lol

how can they give word if their service is down

[lupin_bebop]

They said my cell service was not working for “non-payment/return of cellular device” which is bullshit. I paid THIS month’s bill in DECEMBER by accident. I literally had a credit on my account for this month. So, I get to spend the time to yell at their shitty customer service rep on the phone. Nah, I think I’ll just do this shit in a store. This is the SECOND time they have blown up their muhfucking service for a mass number of people in 6 months.

Just got service back. Awkward morning walk without music.

AT&T is offering a $5 Fuck You credit to anyone affected by the outage.

Came here to say this. They’re giving their customers a whole $5, that’s more of a “fuck you” than a “sorry”

[Jman]

I’m pretty sure you end up spending $50 in an hour of a gatcha game.

[André Toulon]

I'm surprised they bothered

It’s kind of insane that the PR vs accounting went, “yeah, fucking give them five dollars, that’s all they deserve”

I’m still shocked at how bad corporations are at public relations. That or they don’t give a fuck.

It’s not giving a fuck. They DEFINITELY don’t give a fuck.
