Verizon Outage In Midwest And California?

In light of the recent spat between Verizon and AT&T, this latest outage by Verizon might seem a tad ironic. Verizon subscribers over in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and California have been reported network issues, and there is speculation that this might be related to the merger with Alltel’s network. Apparently there is a 6-hour estimate for everything to be smooth sailing again, which is an insanely long amount of time, especially if you’re heavily dependant on your cell phone. Are you feeling any effects related to this network issue? Drop us a comment to let us know.

Update: Verizon has confirmed that there was a disruption in northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan yesterday evening that has now been fixed. There was not outage in California
