Catching up on work can be rough after a holiday weekend, but waking up to find your internet and cellular service are no longer working can be panic-inducing.

For many T-Mobile customers on Tuesday, this was unfortunately reality.
Is T-Mobile down?
There appear to be widespread outages affecting T-Mobile customers all along the East Coast.
According to Down Detector, reports of issues with the cellular service provider peaked just before 1 p.m. on Tuesday with over 4,500 customers reporting that they were having issues with mobile internet, sending and receiving text messages and sending and receiving phone calls.
By around 3:45 pm, the number of customers reporting issues had dropped to around 650.

T-Mobile did not address the reports on social media or via release and did not immediately respond to Entrepreneur‘s request for comment.
Just last week a major outage hit T-Mobile users when many were receiving error messages that said “LG IMS has stopped,” primarily affecting LG phones on the T-Mobile network, essentially shutting down service for users using certain phones on the network.
The error has since been resolved after a Reddit thread explained to users how to play with their phone settings and fix the bug.
T-Mobile was down around 6% year over year near market close on Tuesday.
