“Dear PoPville,
We noticed that we couldn’t receive or make wireless calls on Friday morning around 8:30am. On an outbound call the call starts, goes for 10sec exactly and then we get a “Call Failed” message. Inbound calls come in but won’t connect just dead air until it says “Call Failed”. Verizon was typical and took 30 min on the phone (outside 5 blocks away in 30-degree weather) to admit the issue and couldn’t give an estimated time of completion.
By Saturday we lost WiFi (FIOS) and still can’t make or receive calls. My husband spends 30min on the phone with Verizon Saturday morning. Still no progress.
Sunday. Same.
So now I’m checking Twitter to see who else is having issues and it seems that our zip code is down (20009). And we can’t get any answers about when this comes back. As of 6pm, Verizon still had no answer when service would be back.
We live on the edge of Jack Evan’s district. I have tweeted to and emailed him… no word back as of 9:50pm.
Forget the fact that I and others run businesses and work from home and we are losing revenue (but Verizon will surely expect their monthly payment). More important, this is a public safety issue. We cannot call out or in. If I was in an accident and needed to reach my husband at home, it wouldn’t go through and vice versa.
We have been down for almost 4 days with ZERO update from Verizon other than that they “are working on it.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
