    @verizonfios tv service has been patchy 4 a number of channels in the DC area, including during CL football since 3pm. No improvement in the past six hours. No emails about the patchy service, and it’s not possible to get anyone on the phone 4 an explanation. Not a good strategy.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (28)Matthew Dickert (@MatthewDickert) reported fromWashington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @verizonfios your #customer #services is a disaster! Been trying to contact and connect with company for two hours; still no human support. #Terrible #customer #service!

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (29)Darby (@DarbyandKen) reported fromNorth Bethesda, Maryland

    @sprint. I'm very upset with your customer service and my bill. You have lied to me for the last time. I'm taking my hard earned money to Verizon.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (34)Jesse Baker (@ESPJesseB) reported fromChevy Chase Village, Maryland

    @VerizonSupport so professional when your CS rep says some of your techs suck - she was “being honest with me.” confidence in version at 0. 2 techs out here in 13 days - internet/cable still not working properly. Feels like time to look for other options...

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (35)Mary Lunde (@MaryLunde) reported fromWashington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @VerizonSupport That doesn’t explain why two people who live in the same building and pay the exact same amount for the same service would have two different viewing menus. We should see and have access to the same thing.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (36)Matthew Dickert (@MatthewDickert) reported fromWashington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @VerizonSupport We called at 3:00 EST. We have never had such a terrible experience with any other company... just trying to get help - and Verizon hung up on us twice. Our Verizon experience was just so frustrating.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (37)bill s (@bgsethrose) reported fromPotomac, Maryland

    @DIRECTV @DIRECTVService @ATTCares No one has followed up on this. I was a 20 year DirecTV customer. Horrible customer service. I am trying to pay you to install and I cannot get any help. Should I give up and go to @verizonfios.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (38)Claire McAndrew (@claire_mcandrew) reported fromWashington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @DJBigMikeDMV One difference seems to be that at Verizon you cant come to a standstill in a full traffic lane. This isn’t the bar’s fault but the related traffic is literally taking over a whole lane- seems like there should be a reasonable solution

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (39)Andrea N. Goldstein (@AN_Goldstein) reported fromWashington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @Lkatzenberg So the iPads come loaded w data from Verizon (I did most of my MH appointments by iPad when I lived in upstate NY, and still do w VA Albany so i can keep my provider since in moved). Not sure how they manage in areas with no broadband or cell service like near @stacieskelley

    @verizonfios @VerizonSupport Looks like FIOS went down about 5-10 min ago. Both hardwire and wifi down; restarting router has no effect. Seeing others nearby are also having outages.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (42)JC on the Island (@jgcarey80) reported

    @solmssen @pattonoswalt @Verizon I’ll keep asking this question until I get an answer. Why can companies sell your info by default (you have to opt out) when they couldn’t just take natural gas off your land to sell cuz you get cell service from them?

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (43)Megan Tracey (@meganntracey) reported

    Verizon is by the far the worst data service I’ve had and I switched from sprint.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (44)GhostFaceSpade (@SpadeTheGhost) reported

    @Verizon @VerizonSupport none of my apps or mobile data (internet) is working properly and it's impossible to get an employee on the phone these days. Do you guys even have employees on phones anymore? The automated systems in place are horrible and should be dropped

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (45)kiaraaaa (@Kiaraaa__1) reported

    T-Mobile is really stupid asf my phone is so slow even when I’m connected to WiFi it’s annoying asf I should’ve kept Verizon I never had this problem

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (46)Máirín Ní Ḋuḃṫaiġ ᚋᚐᚐᚔᚏᚔᚔᚅ #BLM (@mairin) reported

    @VerizonSupport It says I'm not part of an outage. Starting to suspect my Ubiquity network setup. Apologies for the noise

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (47)Andrew Solmssen (@solmssen) reported fromLos Angeles, California

    @Papirossen1 @Verizon That’s a really good question. My understanding is that it would help protect you from Verizon but not the websites you go to, and only if you’re using Safari. It seems to be a relatively complex proxy designed to prevent the proxy itself from gathering info. I could be wrong.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (48)shawn m cosby (@DuckVinciO) reported

    @VerizonSupport Good Morning. Is there any word as to the cause of the internet and phone service outage in Lake county Oregon, or How long until service is expected to be restored? FYI we are hearing of service outages in Burns Oregon in Harney county as well.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (49)MUFFINS_OW (@SageJitsu) reported

    @akuma_nite @super_OW Tbh that might be an issue with router placement. But I had Comcast’s best plan and my ping would jump around when I was just one floor above the router. I have Verizon’s best plan and my ping is fine.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (50)Kayy💓 (@kaylaa_mabenn) reported

    Sick of Verizon! I pay so much monthly and can NEVER get anyone on the phone. 🤯

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia (51)Layla Smackdown (@laylasmackdown) reported

    @VerizonSupport been on hold for 30Minutes after the representative I arranged a call back with immediately transferred and dropped my call—-all for issues that SHOULD have been resolved on YESTERDAY’S call, derived from an error on YOUR part. This is trash service.
