EDGE Data is Down in the Central US (Updated with Why)
Ouch! According to this thread on the Apple forums (via TUAW), AT&T users from Chicago to Milwaukee to St. Louis to Kansas City aren’t able to get online via EDGE. That’s a major black-eye for AT&T — and of course it doesn’t just affect iPhone users. Things are supposed to get running again by the end of the day …unless it take until February 5th. I’m based down in Florida so everything’s in the clear.
You down?
Update: Gizmodo tells us what’s going on:
However, an insider who works on networks dropped me a line as to why AT&T’s 3G network is having these sporadic issues today: apparentely, six GGSNs “rolled over”. (GGSNs are gateways between wireless and regular networks.)

Had trouble in Alabama earlier but fine now.

Hope everyone has got service back now!
I wish that AT&T would hurry the heck up and roll their 3G down here to NC so I can enjoy some faster internet surfing on my Treo’s.
Hello there, just browsing for information for my Alabama 4g site. Amazing the amount of information on the web. Looking for something else, but very nice site. Have a nice day.
