VERIZON SOS Outage Across the US

If you have a phone that uses full 5G with AT&T, they seem to have worked out the issues.

However, in certain areas, it completely sucks.

My daughter has iPhone 15Pro and in certain areas, she has to disable 5G because it's slow as hell, my Android falls to 4GE and it sucks.

There are areas where each provider has better service which is why I keep another company phone that's Verizon and so far it's worked.

One day they will all go down as IMO, these failures are pre-tests to a much greater service outage.

It really depends on where you are. In AK - AT&T is by far the best carrier (even then there are lots of spotty areas). In VA Tmobile imo is the best carrier (Even though I have Verizon). I've noticed that Verizons coverage and their 5G rollout was painfully slow and spotty.

Here in Montana, Big Sky especially it’s a toss up. On one side of the mountain Verizon is better and on the other T-Mobile/att is better 😂 really makes it hard deciding. In the end, WiFi calling for the win.

Is it Disintegration Warfare or Second World-itis? 🤔 😆

Not sure, check here:

Disintegration Warfare or Second World ‘Itis’?

It’s might just be me, but the last several years it seems like a lot of the processes that should be occurring without fail in a First World Country can no longer be counted on to always take place. For example aircraft that work, space travel, Naval boats not running into each other or rocks...

Well... it's been at least 7 hours, maybe more and I still have no cell signal on my phone :rolleyes:

After seeing this thread I have been looking at contingency communication methods and have gone down some interesting Rabbit Holes. I think satellite based communications would be best and I actually bought a Starlink set up. It’s the home one but it would allow me to send messages from the house and in a pinch I could take it on the road.

I also came across the below video and realized how much I don’t know and that I need to really up my tech knowledge.

The cell networks are extremely complex, and also fragile. They depend on special clocking technologies and if the clocking fails, the network fails. All devices contain software / firmware which could be incompatible or compromised. A hostile state or individual could conceivably take down all the cell networks. Failure of cell networks by mistake has recently become a thing.
