<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I still find it incredibly coincidental that right before the outage began I received an email from Google Fi, my old provider, saying they're sorry to see me go, as if I had just left. I actually left a year ago. Then when the outage really took off, my personal cell wasn't even talking to the TMO towers, but my work cell--which has been TMO for years--seemed to never lose connectivity to the towers. It was almost as if this were an issue with the customer database getting hosed somehow, not just a network issue, per se. It may have just been a coincidence, but the timing was pretty strange.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jun 16, 2020 at 9:56 AM Jason Kuehl <<a href="mailto:jason.w.kuehl@gmail.com">jason.w.kuehl@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I have so many theories.
