   For those following the apparent U.S. cellular outages: DownDetector is not an accurate measure for outages and shouldn't be relied on for news reporting. DownDetector largely relies on crowdsourcing complaints, and folks often complain about the wrong thing and blame it on something upstream or something entirely unrelated.
