I wonder if this extends to the Public Safety part of AT&T - FirstNet.
- pgrote 3y agoYes, it does. Family member in the medical field is experiencing issues.
- roamerz 3y agoDang that's a bad look for them. Hopefully they can provide a thoughtful and honest postmortem.
- hoppyhoppy2 3y ago>medical field >postmortem Let's hope that everyone lived so a postmortem won't be necessary :)
- EvanAnderson 3y agoIt does. I was the on call support technician for a public safety answering point (PSAP-- aka a 911 center) this morning. At 04:14 Eastern today I received a call that the law enforcement and fire mobile units on FirstNet all disconnected from the VPN. The AT&T land lines (CAMA trunks provided by the ILEC Frontier) that handle the 911 service did not fail. Only mobile service failed.
- roamerz 3y agoYeah I have had to make that call myself many times in the past. Never with FirstNet but definitely with AT&T and Verizon. It would be awesome if the carriers could put out a reliable announcement to the affected accounts that there is an outage - it would definitely simplify the pre-support call triage an 1AM.
