Anecdotally, the networks performed last night
I have been sending transatlantic and transpacific text messages of goodwill and cheer over the past 24 hours and not one message was delayed or arrived late, as far as I can tell. That’s good news. I was hoping that our network operators around the globe had put the right equipment in place to finally dispel the delays that have often beset New Year’s Eve.
I was only sending text messages. Anecdotally, at least, both Sprint and AT&T were perfectly fine throughout the New Year Eve — no drop in signal, no delays, all good.
How was it for you?
Some of my wifes texts didn’t ever arrive to her friends last night. Very sad because it meant that her breakfast plans fell thorough. Just goes to show how much we rely on SMS, maybe we shouldn’t…
