More on the Recent Solar Flare vs. Cell Phone Network Failure
2024-02-24
[DailyDot] Skeptics are stating it is Highly unlikely, that the recent Solar Flares were the real cause of the widely reported cellular network focused outages.

Questions being asked:
Why just the Cell Phone system and not Sat Phones, GPS Sat devices, Sat TV, Power Grid disruption like happened in Canada years ago, Broadcast TV and dozens of other types of devices?

Why just the backbone of USA's 9-1-1 and alert notification system?

#9  Heh.

Updates coverage to support Gemini Woke.
Quits working.

A good one is, there was too much talk about New York and getting out, so they were put in the cooler for 24 hours.

#6  Well, AT&T did announce it was due to a faulty software upgrade. Marketing about "Our network" from each of the carriers notwithstanding, It's one big mosh and a problem at one could well have leaked over.

OTOH, it's nearly impossible to believe anything any corporate entity says anymore, nor the media outlets they say it through.

Adding to the fire of growing skepticism

Recognized Solar Weather and Solar Flare experts at SPACEWEATHERLIVE


clearly report"...the solar flares took place during the night in North America, which means the solar flares did not affect the ionosphere here at any point, so how would the cell phone outages become connected? .... There are indirect ways a solar flare could cause issues with cell phones, but ..., none of which took place during the outages."

#4  I'm thinking the most likely cause is affirmative action.

BTW:
Related or not related or just odd?

A quick search shows IPhone and Android both had updates.

#2  /\ Could the Biden Regime and or the WEF be involved?

What are the chances the Biden Regime was NOT involved ?

Some Additional Info:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a statement that the outage affecting thousands of AT&T and Verizon customers in the U.S. is most likely not related to the 2 recent X-level Solar Flares.

Questions:
1. Was the US Cell Phone Network System hacked or prepped for another event?
2. Could the Biden Regime and or the WEF be involved?
3. Who did it and why the deflective coverup?
