Mid-Atlantic data outage - Post here if you have no data

[c4sp14nx]

Completely down in Columbus, OH.

 

[somberlaine]

Service restored in DC

It is slower than molasses here in downtown DC, and appears to be bouncing up and down like a ping pong ball.

I am getting service now...service seems normal. gen 1 iphone here. 😀

Alexandria, VA

Alexandria, VA seems to be back up ... just got emails that were sent at 9:30 this a.m.

 

[bryan barrett]

service back up in central jersey, but slow (normal)😛

 

[Lopes]

tysons corner, va, i think we're back up....just git 217k/s out of an edge connection, which is normal. Email's pushing again through mobile me...who knew at&t was right when they said around noon?

 

[Warbrain]

Nothing in Downtown Chicago yet for my iPhone 2G...

Yep, same here, now. Getting about 230 kbps which is 30% slower than it had been with latency times of 5-12 seconds. Not milli or micro, seconds.

I wonder if AT&T is busy installing filters to ensure the upcoming Orb client won't work. Yeah, I know, but with these two d-bag companies, can you completely discount it? :-D

[happydude]

seriously people. there's no conspiracy. **** happens. anyone remember this major blackberry outage (one of several)? http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=3052158 because I do and i was affected- what do you do? DEAL WITH IT.

gosh, makes you wonder how people survived out in the wild concrete jungle 6-7 years ago before mobile internet. man, the dark ages must have been hard . . .

 

[volvoben]

Boston's alive, but intermittently sllloooowwww and fast...

 

[rjwill246]

In Reno, NV it is working normally

on 3G and EDGE

 

[zombitronic]

Milwaukee's back up, and snappier.

 

[Cynicalone]

Are any of you in the Northeast able to run a speed test to see how bad the connection is?

[jpbmd]

Back in STL

Both 3G and EDGE are back up in St. Louis. Haven't had a moment to check speeds.

Sounds like Apple is giving AT&T some Technical Help. AT&T has been Synced with the iPhone update.

I think they're making this s**t up as they go along. Every customer service experience posted on the forum has a different excuse given by an AT&T lackey. Next up: Solar flares! 😡

Ahhhh.....Solar flares, I will have to use that one with the next caller😀 J/K

AT&T rep: see what happened was Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus which has affected your iphone usage🙄

AT&T has the thinking, if there is a problem with the service then it must be the "Insert national disaster Here" happening at that moment,

AT&T rep: oh I am sorry sir that your service is out, must be the snow storm.

AT&T rep: I apologize for any inconvineience must be the hurricane.

Bunch of BS if you ask me.

T-Mobile is down in Philadelphia today. My iPhone has zero connection whatsover via EDGE. T-Mobile in Manhattan went down yesterday too...

 

[cs123456]

reminds me of a South Park episode...😱

 

[sr5878]

back up in Hartford, CT.

1.3mbps download on 3G.

 

[mathewr]

i called att around 1140 while on hold i checked to see if my phone worked and it did. i still told them it didnt work and i got a 25 dollar credit. the woman i spoke to was very nice

 

[crees!]

Here in VA I noticed no data on 3G but Edge worked fine.

What does THAT mean?
