Verizon’s 4G Network Repaired, Mostly Working Again

Good news, everyone!

The Not-So-Great Verizon 4G Outage of 2011 is over! If Sony and Verizon are battling for the best outage of April here, we’re going to have to go ahead and side with Verizon. Only down for one day and they didn’t hand all of our personal information over to hackers? High fives, Big Red!

As for what caused the outage: gnomes. At least, that’s our best guess — Verizon isn’t saying beyond “Our network engineers and vendors quickly identified the issue and solved it”. (Heads up, 3G/4G Laptop Modem users: you might see some weird delays when jumping from 3G to 4G. Verizon is working on it.)
