10,000 comments at DownDetector.com about Sprint's Midwest Outage

The electrical fire at Sprint's Omaha wireline switching facility, which affected 236 cell towers in Omaha alone, generated thousands of comments on downdetector.com. The all-day outage affected QuickTrip (which uses Sprint to connect pumps to registers), some Target stores (using Sprint Point-of-Sale services which were unable to process debit and credit cards and coupons), as well as Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile and Assurance (!) Wireless (a lifeline phone provider), all owned by Sprint, which is now controlled by a Japanese company.
