Verizon experienced an outage July 26 that knocked out landline calls in a portion of midtown Manhattan. AT&T’s wireless network in the area was also affected. “A piece of communications equipment (a digital cross connect, to be specific) in one of our Manhattan central offices did not operate normally Monday. Verizon technical teams and our vendor troubleshot the issue,” a Verizon spokesperson e-mailed to eWEEK on July 27. “Not all voice calls in the area were impacted by this piece of equipment.”
