Who I have the same questioned this topic

Are you, Verizon, having a problem with your network?  Our service is slow and calls are dropping. We have a Moto and Samsung S series and happening on both. We've had Verizon for years these problems increasing recently.  Outside internet searches show many outages of Verizon in various cities including mine but I don't know how reliable those posts are.  I would hope the service provider would announce if they were having issues.
