Apparently Widespread AT&T EDGE Network Failures - UPDATE
There have apparently been widespread failures of AT&T's EDGE phone data network today, on the first business day following the iPhone activation blitz.More here.
At least the Central and Western U.S. areas (including here in Los Angeles) reportedly have been (and apparently are still being) affected. Some users have seen sporadic periods of operation, followed by failures. In the case of my own EDGE (not an iPhone) unit, I finally had a brief period of full data operation a few minutes ago (after being down since this morning), but have now lost the network completely again.
In some cases, users' phones are able to "login" to the network but then cannot transfer data. In other cases, the login procedure is also failing.
I will provide updates here when I run across any. Watch this space. - ferg
UPDATE: 18:20 PDT: Jason Chen over at Gizmodo points to an AT&T user forum that confirms the outage(s). More here.
Update [2]: 18:30: More details surface here and here.
