Verizon Fios internet went out for four hours early Tuesday along a swathe of the East Coast, with thousands of customers reporting issues online.
The company said the outage was caused by a network issue, though it didn’t specify the nature of the problem.
“A network issue early this morning disrupted service for some Verizon Fios customers in the Northeast for a short period of time. As soon as the issue was identified, our engineering teams quickly restored the service,” the Verizon Support account posted on X.
