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

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

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.

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

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.
