"Our engineers are aware of this issue and are onsite working
with our vendor partners and local crews to resolve this issue
quickly," a Verizon spokesperson said.
At the peak of the outage, more than 2,000 user reports cited
issues with Verizon, according to outage tracking website
Downdetector.com, which collates status reports from a number of
sources.
However, internet services appeared to be back up after a brief
disruption, with reports dropping to around 200 incidents in the
United States.
Verizon's mobile and landline communications services, including
broadband internet and phone, were affected by the disruption.
Most of the incidents were reported in Fayetteville, New York
City, Miami, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Charlotte, Baltimore, Fort
Bragg and Santa Rosa, according to Downdetector.
The wireless carrier pointed the outage to be around Miami,
concentrated around Hialeah and extending to Kendall and
Homestead.
