We’re having other issues over here in the Washington DC area too. Like the Metro Data Center went down @ 2:30 in the morning and is finally coming mostly back up now this evening, and Montgomery County Maryland’s traffic computer coughed around the same time early this morning, setting all traffic signals in the county functioning on regular, non-rush hour timing resulting in major traffic congestion both morning and evening rush hour (now). Nasdaq is over here, among many other big folks.

Computers are cutting the cheese nationwide.

That’s actually cool Ronen! TMO makes it sound like you have to buy THEIR WiFi AP but that is obviously not true.

lmao, people get use to things so easily, I wonder what would happen if a massive solar wave hit the planet it would render all electronics useless. Then we be in big trouble.

Move to Optus and you’ll get used to this sort of crap on a weekly basis…

that would have sucked but tmobile is the first I seen in a long time, here where I live att always has bad outages so I don’t see why people are being mad at all the it happens to the best of them. It seems that service has been restored to most of the area here, the G1 account was the last one, and I have 5 lines. Am sure they will say why or what happened later since it was a huge outage.

This is the worst TMobile outage I’ve ever experienced since becoming a customer in 2004. I don’t even get SOS!!!!!!!!! I just have an empty space where the signal strength is supposed to be!! I got one call at about 5:30 (must have been just before the final crash, tho’ my phone had not gotten any other calls all day!) and zero SMS Or MMS Messages since about 3pm. This is BAD. Granted everyone has a rough day but when TMobile can’t release WHY there is an issue, or come up wtih an ETA on the repairs to restore service, they are definitely going to alienate a lot of people. Thank goodness I was at home when my JOB INTERVIEWER called me on Google Voice, or I would have been REALLY upset.
so 3/4 of a day with spotty service followed by a complete outage has not made me a happy camper. Let’s just say that.

I am a TMO customer and did not experience any SOS on my phone at all. My phone is connected via UMA @ home, EDGE on the way to and from work, and when I am @ work I am on UMA. NEVER SAW IT!!!!! WORKS FOR ME!!!!!!!!!
