- g_sch 6y agoDoes the cell network have a single point of failure which could explain these concurrent outages across carriers? I have a (somewhat crude) mental model of how the internet works, so if this were a nationwide internet outage I would at least have an inkling of whether it was an accidental misconfiguration, bad actor launching an attack, etc. I have no such model for the cell network!
- bradleypowers 6y agoIt appears to be only T-Mobile that is down presently (https://twitter.com/NevilleRay/status/1272624569707184128 https://twitter.com/NevilleRay/status/1272624569707184128), likely that those making calls to T-Mobile phones are representing outages on their networks.
- geoelectric 6y agoThe DDOS on the Anonymous twitter might be relevant given timing. All happened around an hour ago. https://twitter.com/YourAnonCentral/status/1272634548577165315 https://twitter.com/YourAnonCentral/status/12726345485771653... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23533311 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23533311
