Weirdnes on the nettertubes

So no one is officially posting anything but engadget and tmonews, but T-mobiles network was down for at least 4.5 hours yesterday, the only official thing I saw here http://www.tmonews.com/2009/12/oh-no-another-t-mobile-nationwide-outage/. Tmobile said it was only 5% of customers affected but the outage covered NYC so that doesn't sound right. I heard reports of att internet down as well. And the Iranians took down twitter for a bit. I doubt any of these things are related but if you get any actuall facts on this stuff please comment. Sounds like scary shit to me. I don't mean to cause a panic, because I don't believe any of it's related I just want more info.
