Which seems very sketchy because of how quickly they jumped on this. Outages happen, but FCC started talking investigation before the cause of the outage was even known. And from what I briefly read, chairman Ajit Pai was the commissioner pushing for it. Pai was most likely the impetus for the Tmo/Sprint merger going through when he backed it, so it's a strange that he is attacking TMo so quickly.

I don't believe there would be such a knee jerk reaction if this were VZ or AT&T.

I guess it depends on where you are and the towers you are using. No issue here (for us) in upstate SC, USA.

Maybe the FCC wants to make sure they don't look bad, since they backed the merger.

Good point.

How can any agency of the government not look bad.

Everything the government touchs goes to hell.

I heard T Mobile got hacked.
Did anybody else hear this.

Nope, that was a false rumor. The real reason was pretty clearly human error.

Nope not hacked. A simple human error is all.
