The company didn’t publicly acknowledge the outage until it first posted on its site about the outage at 11:15 am ET.
Reports on outage tracking service Downdetector showed the network initially went down more than seven hours earlier: Reyes said he experienced the outage starting at 3:50 am ET.
AT&T posted just once on X about the outage, pointing customers seeking more information to a faulty link.
For many AT&T customers, the network outage was far more than an inconvenience.
A "No Service" message is seen on an iPhone in Atlanta during an AT&T outage on February 22.
