Why is this a government issue unless terror/criminally related?

The cell grid is actually very fragile. Ingenious and hi-tech, but fragile. Would/will be very easy to interfere with or break by several means. FCC would be involved for a number of potential reasons, including signal interference by unauthorized transmitters. I am not sure what role they would play in the event it was system hackers, but certainly that would be criminal.

Verizon must have forgotten to send the protection checks this month.

I just did an Ookla speed test with my VZ phone and got 148 Mbps download out in the Alabama boonies (after turning off my wi-fi so I’d be testing the cell connection).

There is a massive nationwide Verizon Wireless outage.

It seems random and not related to your location or even plan.

For example, I don’t have coverage, but both my son and wife do.

It looks related to the ESIM in some way.

I went to a local store, and they said they have no idea how to fix or even what is causing it.

I still have a land-line and will continue to do so. ...I have an old push button phone if the remote goes down too. Has saved the day more than once!
