12.22.2009 - BIS/BBM/Email Outage

Just curious if anyone has heard any updates on the outage.  I'm in PA (VZW) and haven't had internet service for nearly 3 hours.  I've tried getting updates from VZW to no avail.  I'm trying my best to exercise patience, but would just like a status update.

Re: 12.22.2009 - BIS/BBM/Email Outage

From all we are seeing, it is all data services on all carriers. We even see that 1XEV and EDGE are 1xev and edge...a very bad sign indeed. This one will hit the news for sure...it's worse than the last one...

Re: 12.22.2009 - BIS/BBM/Email Outage

I actually just noticed the drop to 1xev myself.  Blah.  Luckily it's late in the day (for me anyway).  Hopefully it will be back tomorrow.  Knock on wood...this is my first major outage in the nearly 2 years I've been a BB owner.  I'm really going to hope it's my last, too.  There's a reason they call these things crackberries.

 

Thanks for the update.
