Welp, that’s all the users. Thanks, capitalism.
It isn't all the users. It's localized outages across several networks. Also, this is solar flare related, which is cool :)
Yup. We hit an R3 in space weather conditions over the past 24 hours which means radio comms were impacted.
Thats enough to mess with low VHF but not enough to disrupt ground to ground UHF.
Is it tho?
Two solar flares happened. We don't know if it caused it.
You are correct fuck giver: NOAA says the flares were probably unrelated to the outages.
Right. Just as likely it is a new covid variant propagating through the 5g system.
Smh losers I'm on 9G already 😎
It's obviously not as likely...
But it's still stupid to immediately say this was due to solar flares.
or if you just check it, it would show a large solar flare impacting radio
While solar flares can affect communication systems, radar, and the Global Positioning System, based on the intensity of the eruption and associated phenomena, it is highly unlikely that these flares contributed to the widely reported cellular network outages.
