And before anyone starts the discussion all over again… That’s 70,000 customers who have reported outages on a single site, and is by no means indicative of the total number of customers who are actually without service.
Can’t even sign into AT&T to view/report the outage. You can (conveniently enough) sign in to pay your bill if you want. AFAIK, the 70k number is the number of reports at Downdetector. It’s probably 100s of thousands affected, if not millions.

Doesn’t help that the title implies that’s the actual count, not the number of reported problems from one website.
Normally ArsT is pretty good about that, but I guess in the race to publish first, they put up a poor title.

Honestly, that makes sense. Outage reporting service is nice to have. A way to pay your bills is a requirement. They clearly have different SLAs.
“If we stop counting, then the problem will stay small.” - an “unpresidented” cheeto
Dammit. Now I want Cheetos…
Thanks, I forgot about that.
Yeah that worked out so well…
I mean, it did. It made republicans even more averse to facts.
