BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Posted 4:19 p.m.) — We are awaiting official word from AT&T, but multiple people are reporting to us a major internet outage in Palm Beach County and Broward County. It is affecting AT&T customers.
We stress this is unconfirmed, but it you are experiencing an outage, it sounds like you are not alone.
We have reached out to AT&T’s communications team in the region for an official response. Check back — we’ll update as soon as possible.
Some are reporting that home internet and AT&T cell service is down — we don’t know if the cell service issue is true, but we are receiving consistent reports about home internet.
