Cell Networks Down?

[XP1K]

If it was atmospheric it wouldn't just be att and Verizon. It would be everybody including tmobile and other parts of the em spectrum. @Gunfighter14e2 response to this is right.

I'm leaning that direction myself. The strange part in my area was some att customers had service and some didn't. I saw back in the thread where someone had mentioned having an outdated phone may have prevented the outage for some. One guy at work that had service has a brand new iPhone. Only had it a couple weeks. Then there's the reports all over of peoples phone doing weird stuff without having service. Somebody was poking around.

It’s not even in the news now.

Must be a Gucci thing, Ham Radio seems to be working just fine everywhere.

Had nothing from sometime in the night to 11am, only info I could get was from am radio on the drive to work. Was hearing reports of only 70k people didn't have service which I call bs on.

After seeing how quickly society broke down in the mpls riots I threw the ar in the trunk.

Unless your carrier is using a Mw shot, if the carrier that provides the T-1's at the site goes down, so do all on that tower.

T1’s haven’t been used in years…

Then somebody better tell all the T1 customers across the country!

 

[Mongo68]

Verizon & ATT use the same towers for the most part.

Then somebody better tell all the T1 customers across the country!

They’re definitely not in cell sites

I thought it was just my phone. I looked up in the sky saw a passenger jet go over figured everything was ok and went on pulling stumps out the ground.

If your carrier is still using T1 I’d be shocked. You could do essentially zero data and you’d likely still be using GSM. Maybe a low bandwidth CDMA.

We went to fiber to cell site in 2013, with the other carrier right behind us. The bandwidth required has grown exponentially since that time. The fiber services (mostly ATT in the south) can’t keep up with the demand. They held up hundreds, maybe thousands of bandwidth upgrade saying they couldn’t get the SFPs . Maybe, but COVID was used to blame a lot of fuckery.

The customer would probably be shocked if they knew just how much all the carriers depend on one another. Anyone remember the Christmas bombing in Nashville ? Tells you everything you need to know about backhaul planning.

Yup yup. Most sites are 1g minimum many are 10g, some even more.

Based upon the last few years, many scenes in this movie seem to be spot on. Just insert the words "American People" every time they say cartel.
Divide & conquer is a simple tactic that works perfect.

I’m hesitant to say much more about this in an open forum, but I do not see how a solar flare would do this. I get if it was some sort of freq specific event but not at where this thing supposedly hit and across multiple carries running likely a half dozen 5+ MHZ separate bands carrier aggregated together. This was something at a Central Office that had national nodes impacted.

IMO, this solar flare narrative is bullshit. That said, I’m not an electrical engineer or a weather scientist. I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night so take my shit for what it is…

Southern phrase: ATT = ain't talking or texting

It's been this way all morning.

Wife's phone has been down since about 1000 this morning, mine & daughter's are fine. We have Verizon. Same plan, same contract, and sitting in the same room.

 

[mtrmn]

I'm gonna play mr tech assistant here. Have you tried rebooting your phone?

Need to get that tidbit on national news service.

Yeah, Verizon. Wife has iPhone 13, mine is a 14 Pro. Hers is actually about 2 years newer than mine. Same plan, same room, same sofa...hers had no problem. Mine is good to go now, for about the last hour. I could text and such because of wifi but the only call I could make would have been 911 I think. If I remember correctly, this phone can also make a satellite emergency call in case of no cell service.

I think she has a flip 5, can't even connect to wifi. Emergency calls are it.

She went to town earlier to meet up with our daughter and go grocery shopping. Daughter called me because she couldn't get hold of mom. They finally found each other in the parking lot, then ran into a woman who'd just left the Verizon store full of many pissed off people.

Mine was out shortly today, and one of my employees was out all day. Others that work for me were fine

I keep pushing my Nextel button but no one is replying.

Amazingly, Zello still works even when voice does not.

Lots of boredom sex happening today- chicks can't handle the anxiety of being offline, so they need to be rooted.

My wife's phone must be working fine, then.
