Verizon 4G LTE network down again?
Share:
Most recently, the network was affected a few days before Christmas, and now it seems as though some of our readers are telling us that they’ve been encountering issues with it again. Taking a quick look at some of our own Verizon 4G LTE devices, we’ve confirmed that none of them are connecting via Verizon’s 4G LTE network – albeit, it seems 3G is holding steadily. From the sound of it all, it seems as though the outage isn’t confined to specific areas. So far, we’ve heard that the connection is down right now in the greater Philadelphia and New York regions.
However, we’re curious to know if anyone else is having issues in other parts of the country. We’ve reached out to Verizon regarding the matter, and as usual, we’ll keep everyone updated with any news surrounding it. So are you having problems today with it?
Thanks to all of our tipsters!

In Phoenix there is no 4G/3G/1X for LTE phones and there are problems with the voice and texting as well.

Until the RAZR / Rez / Nexus was released it was perfectly fine. Once all of this Christmas congestion eases up then it will be back to normal.

Yeah like 2 in 9 months. My Droid Charge lost 4G LTE like one or two times MAYBE in 7 months.

Wow, so far no reported issues for AT&T and 4G LTE. I have the DROID RAZR, but have only experienced 3G - been very reliable, but I prefer WiFi, as it is faster. Still looking forward to 4G LTE, and may have to upgrade to 50.0/10GB when that happens.

In terms of coverage, with any carrier, it depends on where you live, and if you have a phone that is not defective.

Here in the greater Philadelphia Area getting 4g speeds around 10mb/s. If this is an outage, I love LTE. :)

I live in Orlando and work for Verizon and the 4G network is down. We can't even activate new 4G devices.

3G is spotty in KC for about the last 1.5 hours. no 4G at all. can anyone say embarrassed?

Down in Dover DE. 3G went down for a while even on my Bionic, but it's back up now...sort of. It's hard to tell with the building I work in. I did a battery pull and walked outside and 3g came back up. I am getting tired of VZW "most reliable network" tagline. It's been horrible since I've gotten this phone...

4G and 3G Down in Albuquerque NM again. This is starting to get irritating since poor coverage was the reason why I broke my contract with Tmobile.

3G and 4G have been down all day in Louisiana. I flashed a new rom last night on my Galaxy Nexus, so I thougth that was the problem. Restored to stock and it still didn't come up.

4G is down in parts of the bay area in california, as is 3G, I'm currently connecting on the EVDO-REV1A network, but my mother, with a lesser expensive 4G phone, has no problems connecting to 3G. My 1A network speeds seem to be around 3G though, I dont want to pull my hair out quite yet... Plus it's only spots in town in Vacaville that I dont get 4G, It still comes in at my house...just not at work, where i use my phone most.

Man what's up with VZW?! Once..OK...Twice...ahhh not so much....Trice....I want my money back you guys suck!
Three times in one month is unacceptable for a cell phone company of Verizon's caliber. I'm gonna need some bill credits this bill cycle :P

It's still down here in San Antonio. Been having 4G issues since yesterday, though. I didn't even have 3G for a couple of hours today either.

In the Providence area, 4G is/was down. Because of flux, my BIONIC with the new update couldn't switch back to 3G until out of range of 4G towers. Yeah.

Have you tried setting the phone to just look for CDMA towers? That's what i've done the last two times the LTE network was down. Worked fine on my GN

Above LA county, which is my county Ventura County. I am suffering 1 bar 3G to 1X all morning on my GN. Same goes for my mom and younger sisters new Samsung Stratospheres having intermittent signal strength and my dads old Samsung Flipshot showing 1 bar. :(

"The most dependable 3G network" doesn't seem to have a very dependable 4G network. It seems as though Verizon's 4G is down for at least a few days every 2-4 weeks.
47. iamcc posted on 28 Dec 2011, 15:28 0 0
I don't know about that.. I've been using LTE since the Thunderbolt's release and other than the first couple days I had my Thunderbolt this is only the second time i've lost service.

So it was down in Detroit area for a couple hours, but its all good since I got them to give my unlimited data plus a credit for the downtime. That works for me.
