Major Data Outage for AT&T

September 3, 2008 by in Random with 8 Comments

Starting last night I received scattered reports that all of AT&T cellular data networks on the East Coast are not operational. This effects both EDGE and 3G data but calls are unaffected.

Following on the heals of T-Mobile botched tower upgrade yesterday a ton of cellular users have been left in the cold.

I have reached out to AT&T for comments but word from users is that AT&T has acknowledged the issue and has no ETA for a repair.

    Wanted to second your report. I (in VA/DC) and my colleague in WV/MD are seeing the same thing. The Edge and 3G networks are completely not working. Hopefully AT&T will acknowledge the issue and release information about what’s going on, or at least when it will be fixed.

    Ditto here. No email or web browsing since about 3AM in the Boston area.

    I called AT&T at 11:10 Eastern and I was told the outage was due to the hurricane. I asked which one and she said the one on the eastern side of the US. I said it is not even close to hitting the US yet and she just kept saying that was the problem and there was wide-spread outage due to the weather.

    They probably unplugged all the equipment so it wont short out when the hurricane hits! :-)

    My email started flowing again at noon EDT.

    I’m in NC and I never really noticed any issues.
