Anecdotally, I woke up to no signal / “SOS” mode on my iPhone this morning at around 0600 and had service restored around 0830 in South Carolina. However, a coworker in Memphis confirmed he was still out of service at 1000 so it’s regional restoration.
- Scoundreller 3y agoI always wonder instead of a regional restoration, if they would “disable” segments of SIMs/accounts randomly to avoid lightning strike (it’s not a DDoS…) their network as they turn things back on. Depends on what the recovery method is, but could be problematic to turn everything back on at once.
- fragmede 3y agoI've heard that called the thundering herd problem.
- wizerdrobe 3y agoI actually spoke with my wife after the initial comment, she was reconnected at a later time than I! So it’s not regional but some other mechanism.
- zackkitzmiller 3y agoI've never heard lightning strike, always thundering herd.
