Is AT&T's 3G & LTE service down in Houston?

AT&T is experiencing a wireless data and voice outage in Texas, according to a representative from the company via Twitter. You may see bars on your 3G or LTE phone, but not be able to make calls or access data.

  1. Houston AT&T customer Austin Ware asked me today if I'd seen slow speeds on AT&T's data networks today. 
  2. @dsilverman Dwight, have you experienced the awful 3G and LTE speeds on AT&T in Houston today?
  3. @dsilverman I have driven all over Houston today from Kingwood to the South Loop. LTE barely works on my iPad others are reporting same.
  4. I've been on Wi-Fi all day so hadn't noticed, though I did experience some connection issues over the weekend on my iPhone. I decided to ask Twitter users what they were seeing.
  5. Hey AT&T customers in Houston: How's your 3G and LTE service today? Hearing that it's bad all over town.
  6. @dsilverman I am In Dallas and is is horrible. 3G does not even work. LTE only slightly better.
  7. @dsilverman It's horrible down in Galveston it takes forever to load anything.
  8. @dsilverman AT&T is shite in Houston...The two biggest providers that give Great Coverage is 1) Verizon 2)T-Mobile 3) AT&T 4)Sprint
  9. Even more awful than normal. RT @dsilverman: Hey AT&T customers in Houston: How's your 3G and LTE service today?
  10. Yep . real bad. RT @John_Royal: Even more awful than normal @dsilverman: Hey AT&T customers in Houston: How's your 3G and LTE service today?
  11. @dsilverman Out here in the Woodlands, AT&T 3G (aka "4G") is always bad.
  12. I aimed a Twitter message at three AT&T accounts - @att @att_houston and @attbusiness - and heard back from @attmejia on the Business Social Media team. Via a series of direct messages, he confirmed that AT&T's voice and data networks are having issues throughout the state. A fix is in progrress.
  13. Hello @dsilverman, Please follow me at @ATTMejia for further assistance with this matter. Thank you
  14. A rep from @att tells me there is there indeed an open ticket for issues in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Seeking more details, clarity.
  15. Same rep confirms the issue is w/ @att's network, w/ fix at high priority. Trying to find out how big an area is affected. cc @att_houston
  16. The @att rep says the signal affects both voice & data in all of Texas. You may have full bars, but no connectivity. cc @att_houston
