Where I am they’re pretty reliable, and have better coverage than Verizon. My company provides a Verizon hotspot for work on the road, but I had to add hotspot to my at&t plan because Verizon leaves me without service too often.
I’m not affected by this outage where I’m at, but my wife at home lost service and had to restart her phone to get it back.
This didn’t appear to be location based. I’m on a family vacation with 7 total people on AT&T and 3 of us were affected and 4 were fine. Didn’t have anything to do with the model of phone, the plan you were on, or your location/tower you were connected to. Seemed to just straight up be random. Also a reboot fixed one phone, but not the other 2.
Actually now that I think about it, they’re probably talking about it being unreliable in larger cities. I know I get much slower internet speed whenever I go to any larger cities due to network congestion.
But outside of major population areas they’ve been really good in my experience.
Last time I had anything less then 5G full bars was when I traveled across Europe to the middle of the desert in Portugal, to a festival of 40.000 people. The cell towers there weren’t built for that many people.

I’m not from the US, I only know AT&T from Last Week Tonight where John Oliver made fun of them many many times.
