Check out our live blog coverage on the Verizon outage for more up-to-date details on the major cellular network issue.

Verizon users are in the midst of a major disruption, as a massive nationwide outage has left millions disconnected. Whether you’re working remotely, attending virtual classes, or just trying to get through Monday with a functioning phone, Verizon’s widespread network failure has thrown a wrench in the day for many.
