How is social media reacting to Verizon outage?
"Verizon "outage map" is super useful.....NOT. Idiots.... Almost half the country lost service but the maps shows almost zero issues." wrote one user on Reddit
“I’m so curious what the issue will be revealed at the end of this. We’ve been seeing more of these massive outages. AWS, Cloudflare, Microsoft, Google. The more dependency on a short list of major infrastructure organizations, the more centralized we become, the worse off we are.” added another user
"Verizon had a national outage and confirmed it via their company social media. Their own website and app went down too. Service was down for 30 mins for me, just came back up. Welp, went back down again. Looks like they're having a lot of issues. Bad day to be a Verizon tech." added another user
“I'm so tired of Verizon. The only reason I had them is because I was in rural areas where other carriers, frequencies and towers weren't as good. But now that we've gone to 5G that sucks” yet another user added
