A multi-state outage of broadband service has occurred, with AT&T confirming that the issue is due to cut fiber. However, the extent of the outage and the companies affected are unclear, with some reports indicating that Verizon is also experiencing a nationwide outage, while others suggest that AT&T and T-Mobile are unaffected. The cause of the outage is also disputed, with Verizon attributing it to a software issue, while another report mentions third-party fiber cuts.
