[Outages-discussion] [EXTERNAL] [outages] Cellular Outage

[Chapman, Brad (NBCUniversal)]

Downdetector.com receives unfiltered, unreviewed submissions from the general public.  

Most of the data on this site has value, but there is also a lot of noise.  

When reporting an issue with the carriers, people have three choices: no signal, no calls, no data.  

Perhaps the reports on the other carriers is the result of customers calling a friend who has T-Mobile or Sprint, and the call did not go through.  They assume, erroneously, that it must be their own carrier's fault.

    Ok, apparently this *is* affecting data. :-)

    This outage is affecting all 4 carriers, and in many states, according to 
    reports in a number of channels.  I have this from a Tampa local:

    """
    This is because of an update in the systems from the Sprint side to help 
    merge with T Mobile. That happened from 12am-6am EST and Sprint's systems 
    clashed with T Mobile's. I'm glad I have off today.
    """

    That's not going to esplain the other carriers' problems, of course, but...

    Now that everyone knows that everyone knows, let's keep the main-list traffic
    to either *actual ticket data*, or *actual clearance reports*; put everything
    else on -discuss, please.

    Cheers,
