Those of you living in the Peach State may have felt Verizon’s big network outage on their unsuspecting heads yesterday. There were widespread disruptions to calls, data, or messaging services on Verizon’s network in Georgia and parts of Florida on Valentine’s Day that had nothing to do with the holiday overload.
The Verizon network problems in Georgia and Florida began at about two in the afternoon and continued well into the evening, forcing some areas like Bulloch County to tell its residents to use their landlines for calls to 911.
The issues began slowly resolving after 6PM Eastern Time and Verizon’s spokesperson Karen Schulz has explained in a statement to The Verge what has happened: “This afternoon there was a fiber issue that caused a network disruption for some customers in Georgia. Our engineers worked to identify the issue and service has since been restored.”
A lot of things have to go wrong for such a major network disruption to occur and a disconnect in Verizon’s fiber-optic communications network certainly falls among those which explains why it took several hours for the outages to be fixed.
