Over on DownDetector, it appears that reports of an outage started coming in as early as this morning. However, the number never got higher than 600 reports, and it started to dip at around 2:00 PM ET. Now that number has suddenly spiked to around 1,700 and it looks like the number of reports are still climbing.
According to the page, the highest number of reports are coming from cities, like Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Dallas, Nashville, and more. We’ll be keeping an eye on the situation as it develops. We’ll update this article when signs are showing that AT&T is back up and running.
