Cellcom Outage Affects Wisconsin, Michigan Users
Cellcom, a wireless service provider, had an outage on Tuesday morning that affected users in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Many people reported problems with their phone and internet service.
Cellcom said the issue happened during routine maintenance, but they didn't say exactly what went wrong.
Later in the day, the service was fixed.
This isn't the first time Cellcom has had a big outage.
In May, they had a serious problem caused by a cyber attack, but they said no personal information was stolen.
During the recent outage, Cellcom's website for checking service status wasn't working either, probably because too many people were trying to use it at once.
Cellcom experienced a wireless service outage affecting Wisconsin and Michigan users on Tuesday morning.
Outage reports spiked on Downdetector, with users experiencing intermittent voice and cellular signal issues.
Cellcom attributed the outage to routine maintenance but did not specify the exact cause.
Services were restored hours after the outage reports spiked, as reported by local media outlets.
Cellcom's service status tracker was unresponsive, likely due to high traffic.
