Verizon says network is returning to normal

Verizon Wireless has released a statement saying that its 4G network was back to normal after reports that users were having connectivity problems on the morning of Dec 21.

“Verizon Wireless 4G LTE service is returning to normal this morning, after company engineers worked to resolve an issue with the 4G network during the early morning hours today,” said Verizon spokeswoman Melanie Ortel. “Throughout this time, 4G LTE customers were able to make voice calls and send and receive text messages. The 3G data network operated normally.” Some users had reported problems with 3G connections as well, but those issues did not affect all customers.
