AT&T didn’t even begin repairs until nearly six PM after receiving the report at four PM, and as of Sunday, the blackout remains. With work, school, and even downtime impossible without connectivity, this theft underscores just how fragile our digital lifelines are. AT&T says they’re aiming for a fix by the end of the day—but fingers are crossed. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
