Verizon to grant $20 credits to customers after day-long outage
Verizon says it will issue a $20 account credit redeemable via the MyVerizon app to customers affected by Wednesday’s nearly day-long cellular outage that disrupted voice and data. The company apologized and advised users to reboot devices to reconnect. The outage prompted a call from a New York assembly member for FCC scrutiny, and the FCC said it is aware and monitoring, with Commissioner Gomez signaling a closer look at the disruption’s source. Verizon did not disclose the cause of the outage.
