Massive outage underway

"even if you hand that person $1000... they may still be mad."

 I think the company should test this protocol and see what happens.  I volunteer for the beta test. ;)

" If I leave the phone 2nd story in the window, I slowly get emails "

That's both funny and sad.   I remember a long time ago I had to drive 1.5 miles up the road to get reception.  The one phone and data provider in the area had a service map, and my place was in a blank area on that map.  Over the years reception improved and now it's manageable, though I still have to drive 1.5 miles up the road to get more bars.   They claim I get 4G and hang on to that claim like a drowning man to a piece of drifwood. But nope, no 4G.

I'm picturing you hanging to the weather vane, TJ, slowly rotating your arm trying to get to the site to see what's going on....

I hope they build more towers in your area.

I accessed the site with my phone -- they had announced the issue in plenty of places, but it seems that they can't win and someone, somewhere will be ticked off.

Yeh, will be that case always... even if you hand that person $1000... they may still be mad. <grin>

 

But yeh, I would be in the mass email if possible for major outages.

 

Where I live, my cell service is VERY spotty.  If I leave the phone 2nd story in the window, I slowly get emails and if they sent one.... it would allow me to know there is a problem.  So my phone was in the window upstairs from 5PM PST until I went to bed around 12:30AM PST and still had not service here.  I am on the J2GIL so was out from around 5PM and on if memory serves.  Reset the modem a couple times during that until I said major problem, just go to bed. hehe.

 

I don't have enough cell access to do any browsing so could not visit community.  Service comes and goes for me around 1 bar to non to 3 to no service.  ;-)
