If you are on Verizon and your connection seems wonky, you are not alone as many users have reported issues with the service, with Downdetector showing a huge surge in complaints in the last few hours.
The problem appears to be severe as it is not limited to spotty signals as many customers have reported that except for emergency 911 calls, nothing is working, with their phones showing “No service” or “SOS only”.
It’s hard to ascertain how many users have been affected but the number doesn’t seem insignificant. Citizens of Aurora, Boise, Denver, Littleton, Meridian, Nampa, New York City, Salt Lake City, and Utah are some of the cities that have been affected.
Verizon hasn’t said anything about the outage so far and some users who reached out to the telecom company didn’t receive satisfactory responses. Customers have reported issues with both cellular service and data.
It looks like the situation is steadily getting better, with some users reporting that their LTE services have been restored.
This is a developing story
