Power Outage ??? Yeah Right... sorry *ss excuse...JG

AT&T on Monday said it had restored service after power outages and
bad weather caused its service to go down in parts of the U.S.

A power failure hit an AT&T facility in Bloomfield, Michigan on Sunday
morning local time, which caused mobile service disruption in parts of
the midwest region of the U.S., the company said on Sunday.
Though most services were back up on Sunday, AT&T said some customers
may have experienced "sporadic service issues" on Monday as it
"rebooted equipment impacted by power outages," the company wrote on
its Twitter page. However, as of a few hours ago, AT&T said it had
fully restored services.
....
Frustrated AT&T subscribers on Sunday reported cell phone and data
services being affected in multiple states and major cities such as
Chicago from the outage. Some users also reported not being able to
access AT&T's data network using Apple's iPhone or Research In
Motion's BlackBerry mobile devices.

"As I write this, some 10 hours after the outage began, I don't have
many facts other than my Blackberry didn't work for about 9 hours
today," wrote blogger Matt Friedman on the Tanner and Friedman blog.

AT&T did not respond to request for comment about the outage.

Gotta love that the nation's largest carrier feels Twitter is an
appropriate method to communicate with its customers!

*Sigh*
