Beaver Island Forum, "at&t" and "AT&T," October 10–November 23, 2010.
Subscribers reported outages on October 9–11 and additional dates later in the month, encouraged written complaints, and discussed possible competition from Verizon. The related thread t002887 records additional October 20, 23, and 26 interruptions and a later provider/customer-credit dispute. These are subscriber reports, not a carrier incident log.

Subscribers separately logged October 20, 23, and 26 outages and a November 4 and 23 recurrence. A participant also preserved a disputed provider statement about complaint volume and prior credits; neither the outage dates nor the credits are carrier-audited here.
