Reports are that cell service was impossible (according to a guy on a One America news segment). Makes sense with 10's of thousands there. My question is: how did all those d-live streamers like Baked Alaska have such great connections?

I have been wondering about that too. The service in DC is never that great, much less for huge numbers of people being there. Calls and texts do not go through quickly at all, if they even go through.
How could all those users live stream if they were connected all to one cell site. I don't even think our cellular networks are capable of shifting peoples phones over to adjacent towers if one of the towers bandwidth becomes heavily saturated.
that's my point brotha. unless they had some network priority code?
Like they might have been using ATT's First Net service that is used by first responders, law enforcement, and the military.
Tens of thousands of users on one cell tower could easily consume a huge chunk of bandwidth on that one tower.
Unless certain service bands were used.
