Verizon on outage: 'Service has started to be restored'
Monday's huge Verizon outage appears to mostly be in the rearview, at least according to a tweet from the company itself.

It sounds like Verizon's enormous service outage on Monday might be nearing its end.
The company took to X (formerly Twitter) to share an update late Monday afternoon. According to the post, cell service "has started to be restored" and the company apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the outage.
There were millions of outage reports submitted to DownDetector alone, so this affected a whole lot of people around the U.S.

I can confirm that the outage was real, personally. My phone lost service around noon ET and didn't get it back until after 5 p.m.
Wi-Fi still worked that whole time, but if I wasn't near a router, I couldn't access data of any kind unless I used the iPhone's SOS feature. That requires a clear view of the sky and I live in a city full of very tall buildings, so that wasn't the best solution.
But according to Verizon, outage issues should be over soon.
