AT&T’s Epic February Fail: Botched Update Sparks Nationwide Outage
AT&T’s February network update turned into a nationwide outage debacle, affecting over 125 million devices and blocking 92 million calls. The FCC blames a configuration error, poor testing, and procedural lapses. AT&T’s $5 apology credit might not cut it as they face a potential fine.…

- The outage affected all 50 states, impacting over 125 million devices.
