Some outlets reporting T-Mobile and ATT as well. I assume state on state cyber attacks are commonplace but get minimized to avoid public fear.. perhaps this will be the first notable one.

The alternative network reports are most likely people trying to call Verizon customers and reporting an outage when they can't get through.

You think like a person who’s debugged large systems failures before :). That feels very plausible.

The US would never purposefully cut of it's own communications, right? What would be the tells if that would have happened? And what could the average citizen do to be able to communicate regardless? Might be useful to always have that knowledge around, even if it isn't a personal threat to yourself today.
