Verizon Data Network Outage Hits US – 12/21/2011

Verizon Wireless logo Enlarge picture - Verizon Wireless logo

This is the fourth time this year and the second time this month that carrier Verizon Wireless is hit by a major outage that affects its data network services, including 3G and 4G.

 

Two months ago the carrier’s LTE network was down nationwide, but Verizon managed to fix the problem after several hours.

 

Currently, Verizon customers living in San Francisco, Northern Virginia, Boston and Atlanta areas have reported that 3G and 4G data network services are down.

 

Central California doesn’t seem to be affected for the moment, but reports continue to come from disgruntled Verizon customers who live in other region and cannot use 3G and 4G data services.

 

Furthermore, the carrier seems to be aware of the problem, but has yet to issue any official statements.

 

If you're affected, let us know in the comments and make sure you state your location. 

UPDATE
: We've reached out to Verizon for an official statement concerning the outage and we'll keep you updated with any news we receive through official channels.

UPDATE 1: Reports start pouring from Verizon customers across the country. More locations affected by the outage include various regions in Michigan, Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas, California, Ohio, Kansas, Illinois, Tennessee, Maryland, Connecticut and New Jersey.

UPDATE 2: Someone in DC Metro claims 3G service is up and running.

Reader 1tlcoop says:
3G just came back up in the DC Metro (7:40am 12/21/11)


UPDATE 3: 3G data services partially restored in some regions. 4G still down nationwide.

Reader Aaron E says:
3g is back in Oklahoma City now, still no 4g. I guess its better than nothing


Reader Kami says:
Data service just came back up for me in Texas panhandle. Literally seconds after finding this post.


UPDATE 4: First report confirming 4G data services are back comes from Bedford, Indiana.

Reader Way to go BIG RED says:
4G just came back up at 08:45 - Bedford, Indiana.


UPDATE 5: We just got word from Verizon, but for the moment there's nothing that could shed some light on the outage. Apparently the carrier doesn't want to come forward with an official statement yet. I'll be keeping you updated with any new information that becomes available.

UPDATE 6: 3G is up and down intermittently and we've also received reports on 4G sporadic availability in some locations.

Reader Hero says:
3G comes and goes but 4G is down in Atlanta.


Reader Kivak says:
4G Back up in Columbia Maryland.

Reader Bionicman says:
Full 4G outside of Chicago. Never lost it.

I am confused as to what 3G applies to...but I have been without service all day including for texting and incoming/outgoing calls. Is this due to the outage too?

Comment #15 by: Btu2000 on 21 Dec 2011, 11:36 UTC reply to this comment

This is really getting old. Data plan should be 10.00 not 29.99 with this kind of service. At least issue us a credit.

I totally agree, what are we paying for? Two times in a month, REFUND!!!!!

Cincinnati, Oh -no 3g or 4g. You figure since they are charging more for data that the network would have less outages.

Comment #25 by: verizonuser on 21 Dec 2011, 11:58 UTC reply to this comment

I have never had these problems before, and now it seems like it is commonplace at Verizon. I pay a little extra to have the best, and when the data network is down for an entire day I think they should credit our accounts.


Comment #26 by: Martha on 21 Dec 2011, 11:59 UTC reply to this comment

This is completely ridiculous!!!! Why pay for data plans when you have to be on Wi-Fi all day long!!!!!!!!!

Comment #36 by: TechnoDan on 21 Dec 2011, 12:07 UTC reply to this comment

O that's just great. I just received my new hotspot with Verizon because my Windstream network has been down more than up over the past year. Now all of this comes about today? Something to be said about technology now a days. Now I am beginning to believe that we truly aren't getting what we pay for. Anyone use the old technology lately? Cell phone ? Can't seem to fix that one either... Hence why everyone is texting!

What ever happen to the old analog phones? They seemed to work well for over 70+ years


Comment #37 by: Menodata on 21 Dec 2011, 12:08 UTC reply to this comment

Verizon needs to get their * together. No excuses excepted when it's time to pay my bill; no excuse for loss of service...period


Comment #38 by: Vaporgirrl123 on 21 Dec 2011, 12:08 UTC reply to this comment

Service is out in the northeast (New Jersey) to be exact. Oddly, anyone here with a non Android phone has the 3G service. Go figure???

Comment #106.1 by: Kami on 21 Dec 2011, 13:45 GMT

I know, it's strange! We do not have 4G in my town yet, even though our stores sell the 4G phones. I have a 4G phone and my husband has a 3G only phone. During 4G outages, his phone performs just fine on 3G, but mine will not pick up 3G specifically because my phone is a 4G phone. Doesn't make sense. Customer Svc even had me turn off the 4G option on my phone and it made no difference.
