RALEIGH, N.C. – AT&T Wireless customers in the Triangle area experienced trouble with the network’s high-speed data services on Monday morning.
An AT&T spokesperson in Charlotte confirmed to WRAL.com that “intermittent” outages had taken place.
Service was restored around 11 a.m.
"Due to an equipment issue, some AT&T customers in the Raleigh area may have experienced issues with their 3G data service earlier this morning," AT&T's Amy Bristle said. "AT&T technicians have resolved the issue, and all service should be running normally. We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers."
Only Raleigh-area customers were affected, Bristle said.
A WRAL viewer had contacted WRAL.com to report “No 3G service for me today.”
3G is a reference to third-generation service, which offers higher upload and download services that older networks. 3G also better supports multi-media services such as access to the Web, photos and images as well as video.
