Wait - the article you linked clearly says AT&T only, not other services. It also sites an AT&T spokesperson blaming a software upgrade on their network as the cause. So any other outages at other providers would be completely coincidental.

Seriously? Who blew that much money on RAM with just a Celeron proc? Clearly built by a n00b.

Whoa, man. Way too far, there. Just freebase that shit like all the cool 90s kids!
