Amidst all the hoopla w.r.t. "port blocking" their service, this outage couldn't have come at a worse time, methinks.
The outage on Friday "left about half of its 500,000 subscribers without phone service for about 45 minutes" and "... was caused by a glitch with a software upgrade on Thursday night."
