There are reports all around that the BIS is down across North America. Personally, I never notice these things when they happen because I’m on a BES, but I feel for everyone affected. The outages are reported with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Again, there are so many reasons why the BIS might be down that it’s impossible to speculate, but if multiple carriers are affected, it’s probably a node somewhere in RIM’s network.

Are you experiencing an outage? Where are you and who is your network provider?

    I noticed some lag last night, and this morning I’m not receiving any BIS email at all. My BES email is working fine, so it must be just an issue with BIS.

    I’m scared for RIM.  I love my BB, but I can’t be down like this at all.

    I am in Brazil and travel constantly. First problem was Monday 10am. it is now 7pm Wednesday and only a trickle of the normal 200 emails. This is hopeless and extremely frustrating. When I called the operator first they said all would be well by 9pm yesterday. There is now a recorded message basically saying go away.
