AT&T is suffering a massive outage that’s affecting a large chunk of the nation. Other carriers are reporting outages just not necessarily as pervasive as AT&T. (FTR, the red line below means it’s down, the chart is a generic visual reference to the number of users reporting outages.)

This is a great argument for maintaining our home land line. But considering this is the ONLY time that continued investment would’ve paid off in the last five years since we cut it and the cost has gone up for some ridiculous reason, it’s still not worth it.

Right now, I can’t call Katie and she can’t call me. I can text because I’m at home and our WiFi is up, but she won’t receive it until she is on a WiFi network. I don’t have my cellular hotspot. I can’t even track her on the Find My app because it relies on a cellular network.

I’ve gotta check and see what things at work are affected.
