arstechnica.com
Cause of outage is unknown, but some suspect it's network-to-network "peering."

    And before anyone starts the discussion all over again… That’s 70,000 customers who have reported outages on a single site, and is by no means indicative of the total number of customers who are actually without service.

      Doesn’t help that the title implies that’s the actual count, not the number of reported problems from one website.

      Normally ArsT is pretty good about that, but I guess in the race to publish first, they put up a poor title.

        Yeah I agree, it should have at least said something like “have reported service issues…” Of course the article makes that more obvious, but even the comments below the original article were filled with people who didn’t read it.

    Interestingly last week a UK network provider had a day - 2 day outage across the entire UK by the sounds of it.

      Is AT&T known for having shitty service nationwide or something or is this just a “big company bad durhur” meme? Where I live, they’re easily the best of the big carriers. I’d love to switch to someone else, but they have the best coverage by far and I honestly can’t remember the last time I had a service outage. I despise them as a company, but I can’t complain a bit about their service and I’ve had an account with them since 2001.
