  • As severe weather pummels much of the US, T-Mobile is experiencing outages throughout the country and especially in Texas.

    The US is currently in the midst of a record-breaking cold snap, leading to snow, ice and other severe weather in portions of the country that rarely see such events. Texas has been particularly hard-hit, with millions of people without power.

    T-Mobile, and to a lesser extent Verizon and AT&T, is experiencing outages as a result of the weather, with DownDetector showing a spike in outage reports beginning late-morning.

    Neville Ray, T-Mobile’s President of Technology, acknowledged the issue via Twitter.

    The company is facing some backlash from upset customers, some of whom are saying the company should invest more in generators for its cell towers.

    Given how much T-Mobile touts its network superiority over Verizon and AT&T, losing service due to power outages and bad weather is certainly not a good look.
