Their NSA wiretapping equipment had to be put in place probably so they can properly monitor everyone's activities.. I wouldn't trust ATT for a damn bit. They data mind and admit to giving all your information to the NSA without court order... |

Re: Don't screw with AT$T
Or it could be ploy by the city to make AT&T look bad given their silly pink box stunt.
Or it could be a single vengeful AT&T tech.
Or it could just be a random outage.
If the city doesn't have evidence that AT&T deliberately took down their service, they'll be lucky if they don't get sued for slander. |

| Actual reason of outage
Severed cable hangs up phone service
COPLEY NEW SERVICE
Published Thursday, February 22, 2007
PEORIA - An AT&T fiber-optic cable accidentally cut near Joliet jammed phones in central Illinois Wednesday evening, officials said.
AT&T land lines and cell phones were affected, along with Nextel, Sprint, Verizon and U.S. Cellular cell phones because these companies apparently share routing lines with AT&T, local phone representatives said. The sporadic outages lasted from about 3 to 8 p.m., AT&T spokesman Chris Comes said, and stretched from the Metro East area to Joliet.
Comes said Wednesday evening he could not verify the cause of the outage.
But local law enforcement, including Peoria County Sheriff Mike McCoy and Creve Coeur Police Chief Michael Button, said they were told it was because of a cut cable in Joliet.
“Somehow a main line got cut,” Button said. “They’ve got a crew on it, and it’s supposed to be fixed relatively quickly because it’s an emergency line.”
Law enforcement reported people were able to call 911 from land lines, but not cell phones.

Re: Don't screw with AT$T
Plausible deniability, I suppose.
As years go buy, I believe less and less in coincidences, though.
Maybe because I've heard the line "I didn't do it" and my personal favorite "NOT MY KID!!!!" when I sat there and saw it happen.
Yes lady, YOUR KID.
Deal with it.
/rant off....

Re: Actual reason of outage
Probably an accidental cut when a nearby municipal electrician was blinded by the fake AT&T pink boxes.

Uh oh, the city has some 'splainin to do.
It would be ironic if it was a municipal crew that cut the cable, as is often the case with cable cuts. |

"If you haven’t already noticed, the large and shockingly pink boxes located around town are a way to draw your attention to the proposal by AT&T to locate ground mounted and over-sized utility cabinets on public rights-of-way near our homes and businesses." |
