We are way too dependent on things.
We have made ourselves vulnerable.

Over capacity my ass it's a hack what I want now is lower monthly payments for this failed system bullshit

The Preppers 👀👀 that people laughed at are looking smarter and smarter, these days.

Really, everyone at 3AM impacted the networks 🙄 - 3AM yall. Not 3PM when the majority are awake.

[bruceradford]

I went down at 7:15 a to noon in Cleveland

You people don’t know what freedom is until it’s GONE

[jennifershepherd]

Verizon was most definitely down here until around 1 PM. They're full of it.😡

How do you have too many people using it? When it was in the middle of the night, the majority of the people were sleeping

Two very strong solar flares erupted beginning at around 02:00EST and a warning was issued by NOAA for sun facing regions at 6:58 this morning.

Maybe some of these companies should be investigating more money into the cell towers and not their pockets!!!

[pshhh]

My Verizon didnt shut off but last night before midnight it did go from 5g to 4g lte and wouldnt load anything for a few hours

[b.aitken]

Great opportunity to dial back dependency on big tech

[CherrrrBear]

I think it’s bs that AT&T hasn’t given a reason and if they hurt don’t knot then say that.

[joanndombrow]

Funny we never had this problem with landlines 🤔

[preshisify]

a woman on news just stayed home, she said if i go out, and get in an accident, i can't call emergency services, besides use a landline or a pay phone, which neither one exists anymore ☕🇺🇸

[limalikat]

Nothing to see here people, just a weather balloon.

[bloodredsky]

Look no further than AT&T itself. Their infrastructure has been a house of cards for years. For most, there is no such service as a landline any more. When you lose the internet, your "landline" is no longer functional. AT&T went to the U VERSE system years ago. No more copper "landline" phones period. It's amazing how few people understand how their phones work.

This coincided DIRECTLY with two CME's (coronal mass ejection) AKA: solar flares

[johnjaco]

This was just a test run for the hackers.
