Most of the problems are being reported at AT&T, per Downdetector, a website that tracks network outages. Around 7 a.m. ET, about 48,000 AT&T consumers reported that their network was out. Three hours later, that number increased to more than 71,000 outage reports.

It seems strange that all three networks are having issues at the same time. The three major services operate separate systems, although Cricket may lease time on someone else's. Here in Central Texas, my T-Mobile service has been unaffected.
