We've been seeing a lot of reports of Verizon data services being down today, possibly limited to BlackBerrys (which, ironically, are probably used in mission critical situations more than most other devices). What's the status out there in the field? Anyone see any issues?[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
Update: Response from commenters has us thinking this is a pretty isolated incident, but keep the reports coming. Thanks, everyone!
Mine's fine - i'm in the DC metro area and haven't had any issues today or yesterday. I have the Storm
No such issues west of Philadelphia on a Treo 755p.
AAA issue impacting most of the country. The trouble was fixed last evening so there should be no more issues.
That is why people where getting username/password errors.
yeah ive been on 1xev for a while the last few days in and out of 1XEV ... im in the NYC area and it has been spotty, but today seems to be fine
Was up and down for several ours yesterday in Northern and Central New Jersey. Not on Blackberry (Motorola Q9m). Oddly on my device it kept saying that my username/password was not correct.
The username/password error was due to the AAA problem.
Here in upstate South Carolina, VZW data has been up all day. I did have problems for about an hour yesterday - kept getting PPP connection errors. Just as I was going to call Cust Service, it started working again.
Hey look some douchebag at Engadget is having problems with his Verizon service and instead of calling customer service, he decides to write an article insinuating that the entire populace is having the same issues. Get off your high horse buddy. I just got off mine.
Banned.
Just an update.. The network was down for data services nationwide. This doesn't mean that certain areas weren't affected, but that it wasn't necessarily isolated. All networks are a go, at this point, so it doesn't really matter any more.
Verizon data is up in Detroit.
no problem for me, in NJ with a HTC XV6900
My phone went down this AM about 11... stopped at Verzon at Arboretum and told network down due to a tower??
On and off until about an hour ago... phone simply disconnects.
