Verizon 4G LTE down nation-wide again?
Verizon’s blazing fast LTE network is obviously struggling today with users across different states complaining 4G data is down on their devices. Both western and eastern states are affected - New York, Virginia, Arizona, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Iowa, Georgia, texas Pennsylvania and Ohio are all included, so it basically seems like a nation-wide outage.

Verizon’s 4G network has experienced a couple of those hits with data down on a couple of occasions last year, but in 2012 it’s the first time we’ve heard about a wide-scale outage.

There are no official statements from the company, but we guess it will respond soon and hopefully fix the issue. Let us know whether you are affected by the outage and where are you located in the comments below.

Update: Verizon followed up with a tweet saying that "after a brief issue this morning, 4G LTE service is fully restored."

Yep, no service in NYC

That's odd, I still had/ have LTE service on my phone and not one hiccup. It still has it as I'm typing right now. I'm in NYC Queens to Midtown.

Then again, I haven't suffered through any of the past outages.

14. krauser1 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 10:15

Seems to be coming back now. Haven't had a drop in about 30 minutes. Strong 8mbs connection over the course of that time.

15. Monster.Ninja posted on 22 Feb 2012, 10:32

!!! LOL !!!

16. phunkinc posted on 22 Feb 2012, 10:41

Is it just LTE or Data in general?

17. Skidro13 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 10:44

Still 23mbps here at university of Illinois

18. DOGIEFRESH posted on 22 Feb 2012, 10:58 1 1

VZ should file a lawsuit against those who sold them the LTE hardware, probably they bought a cheap Chinese equipment.....!!!!

31. remixfa posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:46 2 2

did it have an apple logo on it?

19. charulo316 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 11:22

Down here L.A. Rebooted the phone 3 times and now seems to working 4G again. Droid Bionic.

20. cellgeek82 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 11:33 2

Everyone crying over a technology still in its pampers. If you still have 3G you'll still get your data, just a little slower. Wow, what have we become? We still have it made compared to a decade ago.

48. 14545 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 16:10 1

Wrong, it knocks my 3g off too. With my TB it didn't, with the bionic, it does.

21. android1234 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 11:43

It looks like its back up in Los Angeles.

22. jbayne posted on 22 Feb 2012, 11:43

Down here in Florida. Why cant they post something on their website about this? Using Samsung Stratosphere

23. issa8 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:05

4G running well on my Galaxy Nexus here in the California (bay area).. although my call quality usually sucks :-\ anyone know when/if they might fix this?

43. sgogeta4 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 14:45 1

If you're unlocked and rooted, try a custom ROM such as AOKP and a kernel such as Franco's.

24. superguy posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:19

Was down in Baltimore today, both 3g and 4g.

25. Jeradiah3 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:21 2

I dont know what Verizon is doing, but i havent seen a company with so many issues within a short amount of time!! Why spend billions to revamp your network when it keeps having issues...........especially their LTE service which has gained a ton of customers over AT&T and Sprint. Hopefully they'll resolve this issue or they'll start losing customers

27. iamcc posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:26 5 1

You've never seen a company that had brand new technology fail a few times the first year it's deployed? Where have you been?

LTE is not only new tech to VZW but nobody has expanded this kind of network this fast in the US before. There are bound to be problems here and there..

26. Paden posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:26 4

Unplug it. Then plug it back in. You're welcome Verizon.

28. iamcc posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:26

That's Blackberry. ;P

29. ssjdarkwing posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:37

Kansas City is experiencing the outage as well. Getting 3G on my Motorola Droid Bionic since 6:30AM.

30. mikewillz619 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:40

4g is still fine here in San Diego

32. bzak55 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 12:46

NO 4G OR EVEN 3G IN CRESTLINE OHIO! WHAT ELSE IS NEW! VERIZON COVERAGE HERE IS HORRIBLE.

33. dunnlow posted on 22 Feb 2012, 13:04

Down in northern VA this morning :( Paying a premium for flawless service is making less and less sense.

35. dunnlow posted on 22 Feb 2012, 13:07 1

To be clear, had NO data this morning (wasn't 4G network specific)

34. baileyboy posted on 22 Feb 2012, 13:05

3G was out far a while in parts of Denver yesterday, and again today in areas. 4G is running okay.

37. N.Reynolds posted on 22 Feb 2012, 13:10

No issues on my TBolt in MN.

38. itzmando posted on 22 Feb 2012, 13:27

San Diego, CA has 4G coverage. No problems here all morning with my GNex. Seems its East coast and some mid west.

39. mallkioskguy posted on 22 Feb 2012, 13:34

40. stillthisguy posted on 22 Feb 2012, 13:51

41. KingKurogiii posted on 22 Feb 2012, 14:22

42. MagicTaco posted on 22 Feb 2012, 14:32

44. Habib posted on 22 Feb 2012, 15:56

i'm sure it is where you're lucky enough to get it. :P

47. bbonline posted on 22 Feb 2012, 16:08 1 1

Onslaught of thumbs down coming in 3, 2, 1....

49. Whateverman posted on 22 Feb 2012, 16:23 2

Some of you AT&T custmoers make me laugh. There was been about 7 outages in the last year, totaling 7 days out of 365 where only VZW's 4G was not working ...and you think that makes AT&T better??? Whatever you have to tell yourself to justify paying VZW prices while getting T-Mobile coverage.

50. KingKurogiii posted on 22 Feb 2012, 16:30 1

that's exactly what i tell them except i counted four hundred something days of having Verizon 4G LTE. xD

51. 05blacksrt4 posted on 22 Feb 2012, 16:43

hahaha thumbs down me all you want i have been all across the us with att coverage and have had no issues with coverage or service!

52. KingKurogiii posted on 22 Feb 2012, 16:53

soooo you're talking about 3G. :P

53. trin posted on 22 Feb 2012, 17:51

Funny how the network came back up hours ago and this story has yet to be updated. and you wonder why some accuse you guys of being att-iphone users.

54. bayusuputra posted on 22 Feb 2012, 23:46 1

you guys are lucky to at least have LTE (although problematic right now)..

here in Singapore, there's only 3G, and the carriers charge exorbitant price, and guess what, if you are moving inside a bus, you can't use them.. you can only use them practically when you are in an open space with clear sky view, and not moving..
