I guess sometimes it just hard to come up with the right words in a time like that.

@daffadilio Internet is still out here. I'm around the Madison area. Luckily my phone service is through Google Fi, but even that is running super sluggish because of the network congestion.

This is probably going to be quite the extended outage.
  • The explosion might have compromised the structural integrity of the AT&T building
  • The AT&T repair techs probably won't be allowed to start repairs until the crime scene investigation is done
  • Fiber repairs on top of equipment replacement will take a while once that gets started.


The best hope is for AT&T to reroute service through another hub to get some stuff back online, but it seems like a lot of the region was depending on AT&T fiber that ran through that building.

On too of that another fire broke out last night while they were trying to repair things.

Would you happen to have a source for this info? Would like to show my manager as one of our government customers is impacted.

I don't have a specific source, but I spent years in IT working for a managed network service provider. Most of my day back then was spent monitoring data circuits for large and small customers, opening tickets with AT&T and other service providers, and escalating with the service providers to get them to fix outages as soon as possible.
  • When a crime has been committed, it's pretty common for police to prevent repair work from beginning until they're done with the crime scene.
  • The explosion would have caused the equivalent of a fiber cut along with possible physical network equipment (routers, switches, network racks, etc.) Other common causes of fiber cuts are 1_ car crashes hitting poles where aerial fiber is run between telephone poles and 2) construction companies digging in the wrong place and breaking buried fiber. Depending on the number of fibers that need to be repaired, it typically takes somewhere between 3 to 6 hours for fiber splicers to fix it.


There's also this:

https://about.att.com/pages/disaster_relief/nashville.html

Power is essential to restoring wireless and wireline communications and we are working with law enforcement to get access to our equipment and make needed repairs. Given the damage to our facility it will take time to restore service. We have already rerouted significant traffic from this facility and are bringing in other equipment, including numerous portable cell sites to the area.

So it sounds like AT&T has likely rerouted a lot of traffic away from this hub, but there will be lots of places in the region that only have an available fiber path or only have AT&T service that runs through that particular building. According to their update from 5pm on 12/25/2020, it doesn't seem like law enforcement has allowed them to begin trying to restore power to the building.

@GregShmedley

I would imagine the customer would be more open at this point to having redundant service providers installed so that they aren't dead in the water. Most of the time, the choice to just go with a single service provider is to save cost, but many companies don't consider the cost of an extended loss of service. It's quite possible that they're losing more money because of this outage than it would cost them to have a 2nd service provider that's fully redundant.

It'd likely take a while to get said alternate provider installed, but essentially AT&T can't do much more until law enforcement gives the all clear for them to start doing repairs.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency issued a report Saturday which said tissue samples found at the scene of the downtown explosion were determined to be human remains.

This has already caused an excess of people to go to libraries and other places to use their wifi and internet. The state had terrible COVID numbers although they have gone down the past few days. With so many people now gathering together in groups, this could create more hot spots and make the numbers skyrocket up again.

It's going to skyrocket already because of Christmas. So many people here just flat out ignore masks and social distancing.

So did the Nashville bomber not know that Comcast exists? Or Verizon?

Because it feels a little like going to a horse track with an expensive home made sniper rifle and then shooting the horse currently in fourth place. What exactly is the point there? You're taking out the underdog? Why?

I mean, if you hate AT&T that bad then just step 10 feet to the left. The signal will completely disappear from the world. Trust me.

You don't have to blow up the building.

AT&T is the largest telecom in the US.

I was referring more to the ranking of "evilness," not sales.

Eh, I'd still say that AT&T is up there in evilness. AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon all play a large hand in the anti-competition measures that cause the lack of competition and growth.

Honestly this. Last two days have been miserable. My bf got his phone service back a few hours ago which is something, no internet on it. Mine (not AT&T) is so slow its infuriating. Like I really do know its selfish but all my plans this long weekend revolves around the internet ;(

Yeah. It also appears to have been a suicide bombing.

Also my internet is finally back up so that's good!

The ownership transfers should have immediately raised red flags. I'm not saying it would have prevented this but the guy transferred nearly $500k worth of property to someone on the complete other side of the country for literally nothing. How do you not investigate that?

The woman knowing not to talk to the media already should raise even more.
