Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: ATT cellular network 2024-02-22
sadly not suprised by some jumping to conclusions like this. some groups have been hyping doom and gloom scenarios about solar weather recently, so makes sense they'd use this coincidence to further their narratives

There were two flares - an X1.7 and an X1.8. No CME's though, so we aren't going to get smacked by that. https://spaceweather.com/

Extremely unlikely. We did have a X1.7 class flare 12 hours before the event but the amount of disruption that would cause would be almost negligible. It would only really affect satellite communications and anything using ionospheric skip, and considering the intensity, not for a long period of time. This just seems like paranoia and attempting to find correlation where there is none.

To be clear, I didn't jump to conclusions; I simply asked if anyone had proof of
the outage actually occurring today. I admit my services were affected but
wanted to see if there is any impercial evidence other than my own of the
outage.

There have been numerous articles on it, including by AP & Reuters:

https://apnews.com/article/cellular-att-verizon-tmobile-outage-02d8dfd93019e79e5e2edbeed08ee450

https://www.reuters.com/technology/cellular-outage-us-hits-att-t-mobile-verizon-users-downdetector-shows-2024-02-22/


If you don’t trust newswire agencies like AP/Reuters, then you have a different problem entirely.

And here it is directly from the horse’s mouth:

Well, I am also receiving messages about solar flares and other explanations. I
want an unbiased opinion of what is happening. Is this solar flares, alien
invasion, or perhaps BPG mess-up like Optus in the Asia Pacific had recently?

Fyi. Received a Welcome to XX message while roaming outside USA just now, suggesting they are restarting something affecting customers globally.
