Yep it was nationwide for T-Mobile at least. I didn't get messages for about 5 hours. Then they came flooding in at the same time.

Me too

Twas t-mobile.
Gonna guess a router or something probably had issues. I still had internet and such working. Phone calls didn’t go through or dropped and text messages were not being sent or received until last night.

Most people wouldn't be awake without the internet so it's been good in that sense.

There’s a lot of info with the internet. Overall it’s a good thing. However there is the chance of creating disinfo or google university graduates who become a little too entitled to a specific thought.

I have anxiety attacks when my internet or phone goes down. Basically at those moments I just feel disconnected from the world.

I can do without the internet for a few days.
Phone service is something I need. Especially with a pregnant wife at home, my mind has been swimming all over preparing for the new guy. Not to mention the possibility of a 2nd shutdown, riots happening within my own backyard etc.
