AT&T Data problems, nationwide

Starting at around 6AM today and continuing until this moment I have no data access on my phone. It says that the modem disconnected every time it tries to connect. This is a 3G windows smartphone. I did reboot it and that did not make a difference.

Anyone else in the burgh experiencing this?

Currently reported affected states in this thread: FL, PA, NJ, DE, GA, KY, TN, LA, IN, MA, RI, MO, KS, IA, NE, NY, WI, and IL

Interesting that I am having the same problem in Chicago, specifically the western burbs, this morning. Hopefully it will not last too long.

It sounds like some areas or everyone is experiencing a loss of data connectivity. Glad its not just me, but I hope they fix it soon. It has been at least three hours...

Waiting to chat directly with tech support on AT&T, but in reading the responses to others it appears there is a national data outage problem. If I learn more I will update this post.

Chicago

From the northern burbs all the way downtown, Chicago is out... and I'm sure, after reading the various posts, it's pretty wide spread. Sounds like AT&T customer service is way backed up, so I'm just gonna watch this thread for updates. Glad I checked here first - thanks!!!

I learned nothing other then it seems rather wide spread nationally. I was not able to get any ETA on a repair. It's what I expected from tech support chat, but i at least had to try.

3G data is out in Greensboro, NC as well. The AT&T rep said "the data network is down", but don't know if that's regional or nationwide.

All data connections have been down in Chicago for about 2 hours this morning. Thought it was just me but a co-worker has an iPhone. No web, no email. Nada.
