AT&T is currently experiencing a significant service outage in Culver City, Los Angeles, which began on April 1 and remains unresolved. Initially, company representatives were optimistic, suggesting that service would be restored shortly.
However, the latest estimate for resolution has been pushed back to May 30. The exact number of customers impacted by this outage remains unclear.
The affected area, as shown on outage maps, does not appear extensive, and it’s important to note that not all users in that region are AT&T customers. The cause of the outage has not been disclosed, but one user has reported having to rely on local cafes for internet access while waiting for a resolution.
While internet outages are not uncommon, the length of this one is particularly unusual. If AT&T does not resolve the issue until late May, it will mean that residents have been without service for an entire two months.
The prospect of lacking internet access for 60 days is daunting, especially for anyone working remotely in the area. AT&T is generally known for its reliable service and is often the provider of choice for many customers.
This prolonged outage could leave some users feeling frustrated and dissatisfied, leading them to consider switching to alternative providers during this challenging period. Possible reasons for the outage may include damaged cables due to construction work or the need for major repairs to a cell tower.
Regardless of the cause, it’s crucial for the company to restore service before the anticipated date, as two months without home internet access is simply not feasible in today’s digital age.
