In today's AT&T service disruption, tens of thousands of users across the US experienced outages, attributed to software update faults according to analysts. Roger Entner highlighted the commonplace nature of such glitches, likening wireless networks to computers susceptible to occasional malfunctions. While the outage affected communication abilities, including limited 911 access, AT&T assured users of ongoing fixes. Entner emphasized that while frustrating, these incidents are not uncommon across carriers, with minimal long-term impacts on customer loyalty. Despite user annoyance, trust in the network remains largely intact, drawing a humorous comparison to dropping a box of eggs – an inconvenience, but not a relationship breaker.
