14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has some issues with its 4G LTE network as we speak, and the services was interrupted all around the country.
Apparently, only the carrier's 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network was affected by this, while the 3G network is still up and running.
The wireless carrier confirmed the fact that its 4G services are now available via a recent tweet.
“We're aware of an issue with #4G #LTE connections & our network engineers are working to resolve quickly. Will update here,” the carrier stated.
No specific info on what caused the network to go down emerged for the time being, but, as can be read above, the carrier is committed to bring the service back online as fast as possibile.
Most probably, the company would offer more info on the matter as soon as their engineers manage to figure the problem out and to restore the network connectivity.
Users around the country report that their ThunderBolt devices are connecting to the 3G network, confirming that only the LTE airwaves are unavailable for them.
However, there are also some of those who say that they can not access the 3G network either, yet reports suggest that this is an issue that resides with the ThunderBolt, and not with the network.
Undoubtedly, the wireless carrier would manage to bring the faster data connectivity up and running in the near future, though the issue is still disturbing.
Verizon launched its 4G LTE network in December last year, and it already covers a wide range of markets around the United States. The carrier touts its airwaves as the fastest LTE network in the country.
There is only one LTE smartphone for sale through Verizon at the moment, the HTC ThunderBolt, but it should be accompanied soon by some more of them, including the DROID Charge from Samsung, which is set to land tomorrow.
