Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Another Outage, Yay!

Getting push notifications from multiple outlets the past couple hours about network outages and once again affecting user’s ability to call 911? Funny because in yesterday’s headlines T just paid $950k to the FCC for the same thing lol. Get Stanky a raise!

I’ve predicted this and shared it here in the past.

We are putting all of our eggs in one basket. When you consolidate the network, by definition, you create single points of failure with enormous impact.

Here’s my next prediction. The outages will continue and they will continue to impact large numbers of customer until someone figures out you’re destroying the reliability of your network for the entire country.

They’ll say they have redundancy. Right, how’s that been working out for you? Redundancy is not the equivalent of diversity.

C’mon, there was a 911 outage before the strike. This is a software issue, read the CNN article and the AT&T spokesperson’s explanation. Low blow to imply that striking members caused the outage.

Reminds me of those scenes in Atlas Shrugged where the railroad starts to fail. Competent leadership had been replaced with political cronies who thought they could run everything by passing laws. They had no understanding of how anything worked, just knew to make deals with each other and pass laws. But hey, keep this momala Harris signs up for the childless woman that CWA supports. I'm sure it's not related.

That’s a cya right there, do they think anyone will really believe that, when system’s and transport are diverse? Maybe one local 911 can be isolated but various locations across the country, no way!

“ Reson for outage 😂 light pole installation.... What will they come up with next.”

Here is the rest of the CNN article.

In California, police in the city of Pinole said in a social media post Tuesday night that some AT&T wireless callers “may have issues calling 911,” but added that “landlines as well as other wireless carriers not affected.”

And in Arkansas, the city of North Little Rock said Tuesday night the AT&T outage was “impacting the ability to deliver AT&T … wireless 911 calls in our area.” The city in a post on X urged residents to call a different number if they experienced issues calling 911.
The AT&T outage comes just one day after the Federal Communications Commission announced a $950,000 settlement with AT&T to resolve an investigation into whether the company violated FCC rules by failing to deliver 911 calls and timely notify 911 call centers during an August 2023 outage. The outage happened in parts of Illinois, Kansas, Texas and Wisconsin. AT&T agreed to implement a three-year plan “to ensure future compliance with the FCC’s 911 and outage notification rules” as part of the settlement.

“Service providers have an obligation to transmit 911 calls and notify 911 call centers of outages in a timely manner,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a news release.

CNN has an article already about the outage.

By Michelle Watson
Updated 11:23 PM EDT August 27, 2024

“We are working to address a software issue that may affect the ability of a limited number of our customers to connect to our wireless network,” the AT&T spokesperson said.

“Keeping our customers connected is our highest priority, so we appreciate their patience as we work to resolve this issue,” the spokesperson said.

The outage is affecting “some customers” but is not nationwide, according to the spokesperson. Details about the software issue were not immediately released.
The spokesperson’s message came on an evening when government entities in at least four states referred to wireless phone outages, some relating to 911 service.
In Tennessee on Tuesday evening, the 911 agency in Hawkins County said an AT&T wireless service outage “may affect the ability of some AT&T wireless customers to reach our 911 center.” The agency, posting on X, urged people to call its non-emergency line if they were unable to connect with 911.

In Florida, Tampa police on Tuesday evening announced a “reported outage with our non-emergency and district phone lines,” but said 911 was not affected. Seminole County’s government X account, meanwhile, referred to an “outage when calling 911,” and urged people to call a “non-emergency number … for emergencies until the issue is resolved.” It was not immediately clear whether these Florida outages related to AT&T’s issues.

Negative, this isn't a outage. It is a unscheduled and unexpected distance created between necessary service connection points. This distance will allow users to perform necessary maintenance such as disc cleanup and drive optimization. Thank you for your diligence.
