    The scope of this incident has been increased to include all 2G/3G devices using EtherSIM, though the geographic spread is somewhat uneven to North America. We have received confirmation that work to resolve service is ongoing.

    We're seeing resolution of the underlying issue deep in the network stack affecting 2G/3G on EtherSIM. Geographic distribution was largely isolated to Canada, but we did see some minor impact elsewhere. We will close this incident once we receive confirmation that the issue is resolved.
