Yesterday we didn't know that there was a software update. But today... today we know the cause. It was our planned software update. Woopsie! -- AT&T
Dry that one out you can fertilize the lawn.
Wouldn’t you think they would send out a message re. a software update? That is a load of horse shit.
If the initial update did not require a shut down but, something came up so they had to do so in a hurry, maybe but, I agree, how hard is it for them to send out a quick alert before doing so. Same thing for my area last summer, internet just shut down for 11hrs in my entire area, no explanations or warning given, they came back up and just said "they have upgraded". Bunch of BS, I mean, for us home users that is one thing but, it effected stores, emergency services and all, full blackout for 11 hrs, no warnings and just a quick "updated our systems" After the fact.
Oh, you might think that. Classic backseat driving, always getting it right in retrospect. Companies like AT&T have no interest in drawing attention to internal maintenance matters. Nothing was supposed to happen, so why make a big ado about nothing? That something happened is just a "gosh, darn!" event, and they wrapped it up as quickly as they could. Give it the rest of today and no one will bother to remember it.
It is easy to see that the hardcore skeptical / condemnatory types must have no experience with large scale computer systems.
I personally have a lot of experience with large scale live system updates. It is because of that experience, and dealing with customer feedback, that I am skeptical.
Is it possible that they just didn't mention it? Sure, but why would they wait 9 hours after they had already resolved the problem to release the "systems update" statement to the press?
Prior to their statement release it was reported that they were working with the FBI as a result of the downtime. Why is the FBI involved in their software update resolution?
There is also the Elon Musk tweet and the Q Delta.
There are good reasons to think that there may be more to the story than it appears on the surface.
We all have our experiences. I have had a lot of (unpleasant) experience with a highly-centralized multiple-access data system: lots and lots of users, spread over a national geography, all working on the same database. Like a telephone system. The gnashing of teeth whenever the application went through an "update" was epic. But it was temporary.
Why should they mention it, if the problem was resolved and transparency was restored? Problem fixed, on with the show. Why would anyone wait 9 hours to vet the public statement? To let the legal staff do their job and maybe get clearance from the government. There was no urgency once the problem was solved. (Old principle: bad news must be known immediately; good news can be known soon.)
The FBI would have a plausible interest in any event that would seemingly jeopardize national levels of telecommunication. It could have been the FCC, but the FBI has become an all-purpose busy-body, especially if the event was a cyberattack. Them being interested is no more surprising than a dog sniffing at roadkill.
Elon Musk tweets what he wants and Q is in the past. So what? The thinking on this page is that there are no coincidences---which totally conflicts with physics and general experience. There is so much Rorschach blot reading going on with Elon Musk and Q posts, there is no way to prove anything objective about them.
If there was more to the story...there would be more to the story. But there isn't. Comms are back to normal after a brief interruption. I have to deal with family communication to an African nation where the electric power is subject to "load shedding" and the internet connectivity is a crap shoot. Not good for business or daily life, but people manage. We are lucky to have the system reliability that we presently enjoy. If the people of Zambia had to respond to this problem, they would be overjoyed, praising God, and catching up with delayed messages. Just because you are entertaining questions speaks only to ignorance; it doesn't mean there are "reasons."
