#112I'm trying to decide if I am surprised or not that something like this relies on a single central point of failure. (well I assume it's a single point of failure given how this appears to have happened nation wide all at once)
You would think that a nation wide cell service would be more distributed and that it wouldn't all go down at once like this.
But maybe there are some good enough reasons that there needs to be some central components or systems that make it all work.

It's even sadder - I used to be able to play computer games for hours offline, now I get about five minutes into even the ones WITH on offline mode, and I'm grabbing for a wiki or other reference. Ah, some of it is just getting old.
I think some of it is just not having oodles of free time to figure it out on your own. When I was young I would just keep trying things till I figured out the game, my time wasn't worth much or at least I didn't value it highly. Nowadays I don't want to spend 1-3 hours figuring something frustrating that's blocking my progress. The "rush" I get from solving it on my own does not make up for the time lost. Also I fee…
That latter part is certainly true, only a few games "offhand" even really try to work "wiki-free" (Factorio is perhaps the best here, but Minecraft is trying).

#118Downdetector's front page[0] seems to indicate issues with other carriers as well - Verizon and TMobile. There are are several other providers showing on the front page, but I think a lot of them are MVNOs on the big three networks. [0] https://downdetector.com/
Verizon confirmed they have no outage. Seems to be an issue contacting ATT subscribers
My ATT in Washington state is fine.

Have you powered your phone off and back on? Does that restore service?
