Verizon is down — live updates on the outage

Problem areas

As is usually the case when a mobile carrier is dealing with an outage, it’s not the whole country having issues. Instead, reports mostly focus on New York City, New Jersey and Washington D.C.

If you’re in these areas, you might find that you can’t connect to your mobile carrier.

Visible, too

Verizon-owned MVNO Visible is also having issues, based on the reports.

Obviously, the number of reports is much lower with Visible having a lower user base. Still, the number of reports isn’t what matters for the people who are having issues using their phone; they can’t use their phones, and that’s a problem.

Even higher Down Detector reports

As soon as we published the outage report for Verizon, the Down Detector reports exploded to 2,262 — a jump of almost 1,000 from when the outage first began. It’s clear that something is wrong with the mobile carrier and more users are realizing their mobile phone isn’t working correctly and reporting the issue.
