Wide-area multi-carrier NE US cell outage
A friend complained on FB about T-Mobile being out at her house, and, to console her, I went to DownDetector to see what was going on. What's going on is that T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and US Cellular *ALL* have big outages in the NE corridor; all big report spikes in the last hour or two. Not sure what's up, but let's limit responses on this thread to "I actually know what's up". :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

And those answers, when we get them, will be doubly interesting: all 6 carriers' trouble report counts are trending down just as fast as they spiked -- the spikes are the same shape, at roughly the same time. That can't really be an accident... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Paywall.. is there an excerpt or alt description - was it single backhaul? On Sat, 7 Sep 2019 at 16:13, Joly MacFie via Outages <outages@outages.org> wrote:

I don't think that's related to the cell-carrier issue yesterday, but rather more likely related to the Verizon & Optimum outage, and their land-line service. Here is the tweet that Northwell Health had sent out (and is mentioned in the article): https://twitter.com/NWHospital/status/1170169600144793600?s=20 Also, the blurb right under the title of the article says: "The hospitals, all in the New York City region, said there was no danger to patients and advised relatives to use cellphones instead."
