AT&T
suffered a huge outage across its wireless data services yesterday.
The problem lasted nine hours and left much of the south eastern and mid-west
regions of the US without data services for much of the day.
An AT&T spokesperson told
vnunet.com that the
outage was limited to the firm's Edge and 3G data networks and did not affect
voice services or text messages.
The outage began at around 5:30am US central time. By 2:30pm the service had
been restored and users began to report being able to access the data networks
again.
Smartphone devices, including
RIM's BlackBerry
and Apple's
iPhone, rely on the networks for email and web browsing.
Support forums for both devices were flooded with users reporting outages in
cities including Chicago, Minneapolis, St Louis and Kansas City. Users as far
west as Denver, Colorado reported being unable to access the data network.
AT&T is still investigating the cause of the outage, but said that the
problem has been fixed.
