Any hearing of Verizon internet issues affecting the DC, Northern Virginia, and surrounding areas?
Just got a flood of complaints about work VPN connections keep dropping and all users appear to be using Verizon internet and other users on Comcast are not having issues.
Started maybe around 11:30AM EST…
Thanks…
