No. I heard the data center now has a stain on it's blue dress though.
Maybe "More Bars" in the commercials really refers to the establishments frequented by ATT Data Center techs prior to making system changes??

How long was it down...?... I know things like this shouldn't happen but if only down 6 or 7 hrs not bad... This stuff is still in its infancy ...

Still down out here on EDGE at least. I rarely get a decent 3G signal at my office.

Update: Back up here at 2:40-ish PM CST

ALL GSM data: edge, 3g, HSPDA etc....

iPhone users would only be able to connect via wifi.

this forum seems to indicate the problem did spread much further:

»howardforums.com/showthread.php?···=1&pp=15

we're not seeing any issues in detroit/la/chicago/atlanta yet though... hmmdedum.

a few people in chicago seem to indicate they still have EDGE on ATT too...

I bet a lot of iPhone people are pissed, with the web-only apps.
Is it 3G only or Edge and 3G both? If the former iPhone users would be unaffected. Right?

I was told this morning via "Live support Chat" the problem affects all GSM data for North Central and south eastern US. My data dropped out around 7:30 am central. My co workers didn't stop till about a half hour later.
