Verizon's LTE network hit by another outage Enlarge picture - Verizon's LTE network hit by another outage
Another outage has hit Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network, affecting users all around the United States. Two similar situations have been reported only a few weeks ago.

The wireless services provider is aware of the issue and is working on resolving it, but did not offer info on what caused the outage.

However, Verizon did say that the network was still up and running, only that some of its users were not able to connect to it, a recent article on BGR notes. Here's what the company commented:

We are investigating reports of some customers experiencing trouble accessing the 4GLTE network. The network itself continues to operate and all customers continue to be able to make calls, send text messages and utilize data services. 3G devices are operating normally.

For the time being, no specific details on when the service might be restored have been offered.

Update: Verizon has announced via Twitter that they managed to resolve the issue affecting 4G services. Operations now be back to normal.

"4GLTE issue resolved overnight. 3G operated normally; calling, texting were unaffected," the carrier announced.

Still unable to use 4g lte aircard. And, aircard will not drop down to 3g/1x even though it recognizes a 4 bar 3g signal. Grrrr! Work from home....NOT!

I have had on and off problems with Verizon's 4G service in upstate NY and Northeast PA since Dec 21st. When I lose data service, I have to power cycle my phone (recomendation from customer service) and WiFi hotspot to re-connect to 3G/4G data service each time this glitch on the network suspends service on my devices. I really hope they get a handle on all the issues and permanently resolve it this week...
