AT&T Has No Idea What Caused 9-Hour Outage

AT&T's EDGE and UMTS data networks went down yesterday at 2:30pm Pacific Time for BlackBerry, iPhone and other cell phone data customers in Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Indiana, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nevada, New York, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Even now the company's technicians have NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED IT.

Same old AT&T. This is why I quit them years ago and why I have not purchased an iPhone.

Seems to be out again in the Philadelphia area again. I can't get any connection, even with a full signal.

This power outage was done in order to reroute all phone conversations through the NSA.

This project is part of a global wire-tapping endeavor.

There was also 3 internet cables being cut in Europe and the Middle East, causing zero internet connection for large chunks of India, as well as ZERO connectivity for Iran.

Then, the connectivity was restored, with all traffic being rerouted through the UK and the US.

It has already been proven that AT&T HQ contains an NSA office where they are wire-tapping the whole country.

This latest outage was for the NSA to implement a massive wire-tapping infrastructure that includes cell phones, iPhones, and all other satellite communications.

You fucking sheeple, I laugh in your face for your ignorance, "Same old AT&T with their bad service, yada yada yada"...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Next time you're one the phone with your BFF jerking off, remember that there is someone on the line listening to everything you say.

Odd, because I live in Illinois and my blackberry never lost service. I think it might have something to do with the new 3g network sim cards. I have an older card in my blackberry.

Prolly hackers again. I actually found out the Secret Service paid a visit to some people I know that hacked into at&t's stuff before, along with NASA and other places. at&t is currently trying to bend me over YET AGAIN...and I'm sick of it. I'm getting ready to fire them, they are just a bunch of anti-american crooks and traitors. I hope their corporation gets the death penalty. They deserve it.

Lets not forget a while back that ATT was one of the Large phone companys that agreed to hand over its phone records of all calls in the USA to the FEDS. Now we have been re-routed thru the NSA no having to bother with those bothersome records.

I hope AT&T takes your lying asses to task for this grossly inaccurate statement about them.

Why? Because AT&T won't be the only victims of your libelous ways. Therefore someone needs straighten you up both for their sake and the rest of the public's sake as well.

I called a local news station regarding the outage and they contacted AT&T and was told the outage was due
to a corrupted software update that was applied to their system.
