Verizon said “acts of vandalism” were responsible for widespread service outages that affected customers in the Greater Los Angeles area on Friday.
Customers in the U.S., especially along the West Coast, experienced service disruptions Friday morning, with many reporting issues with cell phone service and 5G home internet. FOX 11 LA reported this.

The outage reports began around 5:30 a.m. PT on Friday, FOX 11 reported, citing outage tracking site DownDetector.
Around 9 a.m., a Verizon spokesperson said technicians were working to restore service, and new outage reports appeared to be slowing down. According to FOX 11, the outage was the company’s second service outage in as many days.
