    What how? Update faster.

    Does anyone understand how 911 lines are different than regular phone lines that they could go down?

    Could it be a Cyber attack?

    Where’s all the phone people at?

      Probably some routing failure caused by ancient infrastructure

      Does anyone understand how 911 lines are different >than regular phone lines that they could go down?

      They are the same phone lines, 911 just has its own routing system.

      Could it be a Cyber attack?

      Definitely could, but never attribute to malice that which can be explained first by stupidity.

      Where’s all the phone people at?

      Retired. Everyone has cell phones, and has told all the kids to not take trades jobs for the past 30 years. Every trade is hurting for new workers, including phone line technicians. There’s not enough bodies to do the work anymore.
