I have been sending transatlantic and transpacific text messages of goodwill and cheer over the past 24 hours and not one message was delayed or arrived late, as far as I can tell. That’s good news. I was hoping that our network operators around the globe had put the right equipment in place to finally dispel the delays that have often beset New Year’s Eve.
I was only sending text messages. Anecdotally, at least, both Sprint and AT&T were perfectly fine throughout the New Year Eve — no drop in signal, no delays, all good.
