As someone responsible my whole career for uptime and network response, I really feel for the engineers, at the same time hoping my service comes back up soon. SOS
No ETA yet, not even an underpromised one.
Odds are they have a ton of outsourced engineers who are an ocean away and unable to do anything.
That's very often the case. I bet there are frantic calls being made right now (probably using a competing carrier!) to Ericsson/etc to come to their rescue, which they happily will in exchange for a hefty fee.
At least the shareholders have had an amazing quarter. :)
