[Update]
It looks like the tech-heads at AT&T have no idea what left AT&T EDGE and UMTS data customers without their precious data connection.
Leave it to a multi-billion dollar company to not know what caused their data network to take nose-dive for 9 hours.
If you’re in the Midwest or Southeast US and you’re trying to access AT&T’s data network, you may just be doing so in vain. AT&T has announced that it is experiencing problems with its data network in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the US.
An AT&T spokesperson said that some customers “may be experiencing trouble accessing data on some devices.” The list of affected devices includes the iPhone, and presumably many other handsets trying to connect to AT&T’s EDGE network.
The problem seems to be related to six GGSNs having “rolled over.” Whatever, just get it fixed right quick, AT&T.
We can verify that the Los Angeles and New York networks are going strong. Anyone having problems?
