Verizon outage: Wireless carrier is aware of an ‘issue impacting service’ as thousands of users report issues

A Verizon spokesperson told FOX Business on Monday that the wireless carrier is “aware of an issue impacting service for some customers” as tens of thousands of people in the U.S. report outages.

“Our technicians are engaged and we are working quickly to identify and resolve the issue,” the spokesperson added.

Data from the website Downdetector shows that there were more than 100,000 reports of Verizon service outages around 11 a.m. ET.

The outages are reported from across the US, but are more common along the East Coast in cities such as Atlanta, Georgia, Washington, DC and the New York City metropolitan area.
