If it was a solar flare more than cell towers would be affected.

I am NOT saying it is a solar flare, but Starlink has been affected as well.

Starlink has 90 user reported issues in the last 24 hours. AT&T has 75,000 user reported issues in the last 24 hours. Users can report any kind of issue and it will be counted on DownDetector. Not being able to find their TikTok app icon because they accidentally uninstalled the app can be a user report so the information provided by users isn't very good.

AT&T people are more likely to be near enough to a cell network to report, whereas most starlink users are far enough out that if it went down, they might not be able to.

Depends on the magnitude and sun facing side of earth exposed to the flare. Some systems are more susceptible than others.

if this is relative to cell providers being out, some folks are claiming it's due to a cloud misconfig, some say it's peering... which would mean regardless of the platform (agnostic) there remains a single point of failure (SPoF) which should give folks an even greater sense of urgency as it comes to alternative means of comms... also means there isn't really any evidence that cloud agnosticism works, at least for comm-grid.

She says twice that this "could be" the cause. This is not proof that the flares were the cause of this outage. Your headline is sensationalized and incorrect.

I used the title of the video for the post.
Considering how many unrelated networks went down simultaneously, prove to me it wasn't caused by the 2 X-Class flares that flashed right before communications went down. It might have been something else but I have yet to see a plausible explanation.

We don't use landlines any longer. Telco outages caused by solar flare activity involve voltages induced on electrical lines and cables. Cellular carriers use fiber which would be unaffected. The widespread nature of the outage and the lack of copper connecting the various areas means that line voltage induction is not the culprit. Also, if it was caused by the X-Class flares, we would see many other similar industries affected just the same. Sure other cellular carriers are being affected, but it important to understand that they all share infrastructure and data so a T-Mobile customer calling an AT&T customer will get the notion that T-Mobile is down when in reality it is on the other carrier's side.
There are lots of scientific tools and instruments around the world that would detect or be affected by these X-Class flares. Until I hear something about what they are experiencing in the last 24 hours, I'm putting my money on the telco outages/issues being on some DEI shitskin who misconfigured the network infrastructure at AT&T. This is a very common occurrence and we see it often in cloud infrastructure outages. It's far more likely the real cause than solar flare activity. I'll see what I can find from the scientific community impacts, if there are any.

Very good response, thanks!
Cellular carriers use fiber which would be unaffected.
Fiber has translators connected at each end. IDK how sensitive to power spikes/reflections those translators may be. Just spitballing, fiber is immune to induced voltage but the translators are high speed semiconductors that may become susceptible to flares at some level of severity of exposure.

I will be very curious to hear what you find.

Solar flares that target AT&T only. Yeah, OK...

A number of different platforms had big issues last night, AT&T happened to be the biggest/most noteworthy company. Not sure if there is some other link of commonality between those different platforms. The 2 X-class flares happened coincidentally right before/during the outages, hence the strong suspicion they may have something to do with it.

yeah solar flares while the sun is facing the other side of the planet.
fucking moron

Looking like it was hackers and ddos now that hacker heat maps (if they can be trusted) were published today.
