AT&T: We’ve restored service to all customers after major outage

After a day-long outage Thursday, AT&T says that it has restored service to all of its customers. The widespread outage left AT&T customers across America without service.
Chance Miller for 9to5Mac:

The outage began early on Thursday morning, with complaints from thousands of AT&T customers on social media. Shortly thereafter, AT&T acknowledged the outage and said it was investigating.
AT&T has now confirmed that it has resolved the outage for all of its customers in a post on its website, adding that it is “taking steps” to ensure this doesn’t happen again:
We have restored wireless service to all our affected customers. We sincerely apologize to them. Keeping our customers connected remains our top priority, and we are taking steps to ensure our customers do not experience this again in the future.
AT&T hasn’t shared any details on what caused this significant outage… AT&T’s silence gives off the impression that even it still doesn’t fully know the cause of the outage.

MacDailyNews Take: As former AT&T customers (from way back when it was the only option for iPhone users), it’s not shocking that AT&T doesn’t seem to know what happened.
UPDATE: February 23, 1:26pm ET: AT&T’s latest statement says, “Based on our initial review, we believe that today’s outage was caused by the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network, not a cyber attack. We are continuing our assessment of today’s outage to ensure we keep delivering the service that our customers deserve.”
