All those companies are ATT subsidiaries amd run on the same phone architecture as ATT. Verizons is a different architecture.
Not that their excuse is valid.
Microsoft, Google, Instagram, Facebook, and 17 other non-cellular networks all had difficulties at the exact same time. Or how about Apple, YouTube, Vimeo, and several gaming platforms going down 13 hours later when the next solar flare occurred. Not to mention the satellites that were disrupted at the exact same time
Well, they updated the software to turn off service to however many devices, and a lot of carriers use AT&T’s infrastructure so their service got updated too
As I recall, Starlink was also affected and I wouldn't think those two would be linked. And the solar flares explanation only works if everything is affected and not everything was. And are we to believe it was BOTH a solar flare and a system update coincidentally at the same time?
I just think all of this is a cover story for whatever actually happened. And perhaps we will never know what happened.
Verizon, T-Mobile, and other services must interface with AT&T if they are to be interoperable. My phone is AT&T and I'm calling someone on Verizon. How does the signal pass from one to another? There must be "handshakes" between these separate systems in order for them to authenticate users through system ID and passwords. So, yeah, an architecture level system update could affect all these interactions. A classic Y2K-style unplanned hiccup.
Solar flare? Hogwash. Cover story? For what? Paranoid suspicion proves only that you have an overactive imagination and no substantiation. To borrow a phrase from Freud, "Sometimes a cigar is only a cigar."
A software failure that impacted the DOCSIS internet protocol software could possibly (likely) do that. I do not know if that is what happened here. But, just for the sake of discussion, nearly all internet traffic in the "main data infrastructure pipelines," (so-to-speak) is controlled by software that is shared amongst numerous telcom companies.
Huh. A software update at AT&T that also affects multiple other companies too.
EXACTLY. What a load of horse shit.
My local strip club updates its point of sale ‘software’ and now my local carwash cant get the condom dispenser to work.

That's not true. It's Russian Roullette.

Verizon and T-Mobile don't use AT&T infrastructure, and they were affected too.
It sounds like they are saying these were never fully out, but so many people couldn't reach ATT customers they claimed they down too
Interesting to see more on that.
As far as I know ATT never claimed a solar flare was the problem that came from other people

I never had a problem with my Verizon and a person I was with didn’t have a problem with T Mobile. In our area it seemed to only be AT&T
