"Verizon is working to fix an outage that knocked out service for more than 170,000 customers across the U.S. on Wednesday, according to the website Downdetector. The website tracks phone service and app outages; it reported a spike in outages around noon ET, and its map showed Seattle, Atlanta, and New York were hit especially hard. Other big cities hit by the outage included Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C."
"Downdetector users from across the U.S. jumped in the comments section to talk about their phone issues. This outage is huge..from coast to coast, one commenter said. Don't be surprised that Iran is behind this. Another user in Long Island, New York, said her phone was in SOS mode, but her husband had no problem on his phone while sitting next to her on the couch."
