My service was out for approximately 7 hours. But I pose a question that I've been wondering since:

I have a Moto. Updates are explicitly disabled. A lot of stuff has been deactivated via ADB. While Moto does try to force sneak updates against my settings and will, on occasion, I just so happened to grab my phone today and at approximately the very moment of the outage, noticed an unsolicited Moto update, which I cancelled. But at that moment, cellular was or went down (~1400) and remained so until ~2200.

Was this a coincidence, or could something much more interesting have happened, eg a serious security breach? An interesting coincidence, for me. I spent the day convinced that Moto sent a kill sig wanting me to buy a new phone.

Thanks a lot eth0up, we all went down waiting on you to accept that Moto update.

  • I have updates blocked, which is why the simultaneous update seemed odd.

    In my wild imagination, I vaguely surmised something involving compromise. I'm not sure what you're implying though, probably something spiteful.
