Man, all afternoon today I was trying to place and receive calls on a Sprint landline and not one, not two, but three Sprint and Nextel cellphones. And nothing worked! Maybe ten percent of my calls made it one direction or the other. Turns out there was a reason. BB reader Ben says,
There is a *major* loss of service right now for subscribers to sprint and nextel. they apparently cut one fiber-optic cable, but it did twice as much damage,becasue they were routing service to Phoenix, where the cable was cut, because of the work going on in Reno. They are trying to bring it back online, but it is a really huge outage!
