I see an outage map online, but no real explanation. I was prepared for a power outage and having to limit calls to preserve battery life, but the storm isn't even here yet. Maxed out towers? Loss of a satellite? I've literally found myself shouting "can you hear me now?

I've had exactly the same issue as you've described the last two days! I am also an AT&T customer.

Makes me nervous to think what it will be like if we need to call someone for assistance during the worst of Irma. 😟
