AT&T is offline for thousands of Americans across the country — three months after widespread outages left people without service for hours.
Wednesday’s problems appeared around 4 a.m. ET, affecting cell phones and the Internet.
DownDetector, a website that monitors online outages, shows that customers in Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix and other major cities are experiencing problems.
Some customers have said they plan to switch carriers today because AT&T’s service has been interrupted three times in the past two months.

DownDetector’s website shows that problem reports for AT&T started rolling in around 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, but have since risen to more than 1,300 users as of 7 a.m. ET.
About 58 percent of users mention problems with their mobile phone, 32 percent have no signal and 11 percent have problems with mobile internet.
However, the outage currently does not affect all US customers.

One X user stated that they are switching phone companies today because AT&T has had three outages in the last two months.
Others said they expect a discount on their June bill.
The current outage has reminded customers of the major outage that occurred in February, which knocked out service for nearly all day for more than 70,000 AT&T users.
The peak of that outage also occurred around 4 a.m. ET and left users’ devices in SOS, meaning no connection.
