Verizon experiencing service outages

Verizon said some of its wireless services were down Wednesday, leaving many customers without access to voice and data services. Downdetector, a website that tracks user-submitted reports of outages among popular online services, told CNN over email that more than 1 million issue reports related to the outage have been generated within the last 24 hours. At its peak, more than 178,000 reports were filed within a 15-minute window. Verizon acknowledged the issue in a post on the social media platform X on Wednesday. Verizon said in a statement to CNN that its engineers are addressing the service interruptions and that its teams “remain fully deployed and are focused on the issue.”
