Who turned off AT&T? DFW outage
All our ATT Uverse has been out since around noon today. I’m hearing a fire at the data center in Richardson, TX has taken most of DFW down. I have my cellular data and that’s about it.

If you’re trying to reach family or friends in DFW’r you probably can’t.

It sure is relaxing at home this evening. Smile

Yup. We're right there with you (Fort Worth). Very quiet at our place.

I’m back up and running. Thanks for that link. I saw people commenting they were just getting back online. So I rebooted everything and all is good here at the north Texas compound.

Seems like AT&T craps out every 6-8 weeks in west Texas. Most businesses in Jerkwater have switched to other internet providers because of AT&T’s lack of redundant systems to provide reliable service. I have a Straight Talk phone that runs on Verizon towers for a backup to my ATT phone/internet service. Sure have considered dumping ATT altogether.

I started out with AT&T for my phone service years ago and then my service was taken over by CenturyLink. I live in a rural area and toward the end of September we had some heavy rains and my phone service went out. A technician checked it out, found a bad cable into their junction box located a half mile away and put in a work order. The work crew has been scheduled to come out on four different occasions and each time they were a no show.

I'm still without phone service. Dealing with their customer service has been a nightmare. It appears that I am the only one affected by the bad cable which probably explains the poor service.

They call it Century Link because that’s how long it takes to get service.
