Outage tracking website Downdetector shows that over 1,000 complaints were registered on the website, with the peak seen around 1:34 PM EST.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bAs per data shared on the website, 58% of the users complained of problems with their mobile internet, 24% said they had &#8216;No Signal,&#8217; and 18% said they were having trouble with 5G Home Internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe problems do not seem to be limited to any one area, and among the top 9 most affected locations were said to be <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/us\/trending\/lebron-james-sciatica-injury-will-the-los-angeles-lakers-legend-miss-entire-nba-season-expert-says-he-is-at-risk-of-11760063796076.html\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"Los Angeles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Los Angeles<\/a>, Katy, Van Nuys, Woodland Hills, Santa Monica, North Hollywood, Houston, Reseda, and Canoga Park.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bNetizens React to Verizon Outage:<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u201cThat is correct. Their network has been down since late last night. I am currently on SOS and I called them about it. They tried to troubleshoot me and half of their people. There are completely idiots that don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing. For almost $400 a month, this is just outrageous and I\u2019m about to switch to T-Mobile,\u201d wrote one user on Reddit.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u201cSouthern California checking in. SOS since about 7:30 AM this morning. Called Verizon and there\u2019s outages all over the country. No estimate on repair time,\u201d another user noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u201cI\u2019m leaving Verizon after 17 yrs. Dropped calls, cuts out all the time\u2026 and they got rid of the loyalty program $10 off bill. I threatened to leave and they gave me a one-time discount while I wait for some likely sales person to try talking me into a new cheaper plan. I\u2019ve been threatening to leave for years.

I can\u2019t stand these outages anymore. Happens at least once a month, last month it was for a whole day and now I\u2019ve been stuck in SOS mode for hours. Ridiculous,&#8221; added yet another user on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bWhat&#8217;s Happening with the Verizon Outage?<\/p>\n<p>\u200bNews of the Verizon outage first started coming in on Thursday, October 9, and the company had also accepted the problem with its service. Users in many US cities complained as they woke up to &#8220;SOS Only&#8221; or &#8220;Emergency Calls Only&#8221; error message on their phones.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bBy the evening, however, the service seemed to have largely restored. The quiet period did not last long for Verizon, and its service seems to have acted up once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Verizon seems to be once again experiencing widespread outages as users rushed to social media to complain about&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":204802,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[49,48,244,1575,100373,61,100374,100367,100378,100376,100377,100375,100368,100372,100370,100371,100369],"class_list":{"0":"post-204801","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-internet","11":"tag-iphone","12":"tag-my-verizon","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-verizon-customer-service","15":"tag-verizon-down","16":"tag-verizon-internet","17":"tag-verizon-iphone","18":"tag-verizon-login","19":"tag-verizon-number","20":"tag-verizon-outage","21":"tag-verizon-outage-map","22":"tag-verizon-phone","23":"tag-verizon-service","24":"tag-verizon-wireless"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204801\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/204802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
